Overview

When talented young writer Elizabeth Wurtzel earns a scholarship to Harvard, she sees it as her chance to escape the pressures of her working-class background and concentrate on her true talent. But what starts out so promising leads to self-destructive behavior and paralyzing depression that reflects an entire generation's struggle to navigate the effects of divorce, drugs, sex, and high expectations.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A raw portrait of depression in the 1990s that follows a promising young writer's spiral into self-destruction as external success masks internal collapse. It's an intimate, sometimes uncomfortable examination of what happens when intelligence and privilege can't protect you from your own mind.
