A film that celebrates women
The meaningful film presents valuable social insights. It has been sparking headlines for months upon release for its bold manifestation of feminist topics, and shone light on mental health issues.
It is billed as a profound autobiographical portrait of a woman on the edge of everything – of her nerves, family, intense career move, the real world, holding almost everything together. It manifests the strengths and at the same time the vulnerabilities of women.
