An amiable presentation of a person's youth and early adulthood, that feels rather lively (moreso from her family than the sometimes bewildered-looking protagonist) and does a great job with feeling fluid with the expansive timeline. Though it gets tiresome when so much happens to Janet, yet quite a bit of it doesn't seem to stick to her and develop her character, which is especially tiring for a 160 minute film.

An impressionistic approach (sometimes slipping into exaggeration) that generally succeeds at conveying the unfolding of many years of a life, offering a sense of the protagonist’s internal world and life's frequently strange, pathetic and tragic character. Coincidentally, on the day I watched this, I had earlier been writing about my father, who was a psychologist, and about how he used to say that the main function of his professional life was to undo psychiatric misdiagnoses of schizophrenia.

Solid with great performances by both the young and older Frame. The first act kind of reminded me of Terence Davies. I was never entirely clear on why she was incorrectly diagnosed with schizophrenia--I thought that could have been explained a bit more, and I would have liked to have heard some more about the connection between the shock treatments and her behavior in the future. Still, it's an interesting portrayal of an interesting life

A life told through episodes, with very little narration; it's very strong as a construction of a person, her identity, different experiences, without trying to voice how she felt. There's also an interesting potrayal of mental health treatments and institutions of the time; very well produced and directed.
