This is one of the better celebrity documentaries out there—no fluff, no PR spin, just six years of raw footage showing what it actually looks like when someone's struggling with mental health while the world watches.
Gomez's willingness to show herself at her lowest points is both brave and genuinely helpful for destigmatizing mental health conversations. The documentary doesn't offer easy answers or a neat bow-tied ending, which is actually its strength—it shows mental health as an ongoing journey, not a problem you solve once.
For parents of teens: this is worth watching together if your kid is 14+. It opens up conversations that are hard to start otherwise. The 97% critic score isn't hype—it's earned through authenticity. That said, it's heavy. If your teen is currently struggling with mental health, check in about whether they're in a place to watch someone else's struggles, or if it might be too much right now.
Not entertainment in the traditional sense, but deeply valuable viewing for the right audience at the right time.
