“Where do you go when you've gone too far?”

DramaRomance

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.

VIBE

A raw, introspective dive into the turbulent inner life of a young writer grappling with depression and societal pressures. It feels like a confessional, capturing the anxious energy of the 90s and the struggle to find oneself amidst self-doubt and expectation.
