Standout Aspects

Direction

Ratner's patient, non-exploitative gaze earns every moment.

Writing

Regina's narration weaponizes dark humor as survival tool.

Best for:Solo: When you need to ugly-cry without witnesses.·Rewatch: Layered enough to hit differently each time.
Heads up:Triggers: Detailed suicide attempts, self-harm, psychiatric hospitalization.·Emotional: Childhood trauma revealed gradually; no tidy redemption arc.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Released amid 2016's mental health TikTok boom, it predated the sanitized 'self-care' era with something messier and truer.

Insight

Ratner spent seven years filming; the final cut's 87 minutes required destroying literal years of footage—a brutal editorial mirror of Regina's own editing of self.
