IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY. You'll figure it out. Working on a better mental health is absolutely normal.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2020)

The movie made me realise 2 important things.
1) Everybody tries to portray an image of themselves, but on the inside, the portrayal is just a mirror of their hidden wounds accumulated over time.
2) Unless you stand in front of the mirror and confront your inner self, the battle for a better mental health continues.
The movie being based on the memoir written by the author during her stay at a mental institution, excels in bringing out the purest human emotions. After being sent to the institution for trying to end her life (which she denies initially saying that she took the bottle of aspirin to fight a headache), she is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (which I think everybody copes with to an extent).
Beautiful characters, their struggle, the way people around then make them happy or sad, is all rawly captured. You definitely feel like you are witnessing their journey along with them. The music is captivating. The subtle acting by Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie keeps you wanting for more.
Finally, it explains well that no matter the other's influence to change us, we need to make a genuine effort to change ourselves for the better.
