Overview
Plagued by an abusive childhood, a woman finds escape in competitive swimming, sexual experimentation, toxic relationships, and addiction before ultimately finding her voice through writing.
This film marks the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart, and it is an impressive one. The movie stars the criminally-underrated Imogene Poots, who slays in the portrayal of a young woman that is trying to overcome abuse that she went through as a child. At times it is a tough watch, but thing about this film is that you genuinely feel what the character is going through rather than simply recounting her past (despite the title, the film is anything but linear). I really enjoyed it.
