1 of my favorite movies cuz it gets to the deep down dirt of how women have been treated esp if considered "different" which I relate to in many ways! All the actresses were amazing in this movie! 🦋

I live with BPD and this movie speaks volumes about the illness without villanizing Susanna.this movie and her memoir was truly ahead of its time and will open people's eyes.

As someone with BPD, I can't say that I relate to everything the characters of Susanna and Lisa go through. However, so much of their running from their feelings hits home. I also understand that this was set in the 60's, so mental illness was placed on the sufferer, not those who caused it, or, at the very least, contributed to it. This is what I hated about the movie; they are not the cause of their disease.
