I didn't know much about the subject that the film regarded so I looked on Wikipedia just to get the sort of basic plot. I feel like that is what the filmmakers did too. It was insanity surface level.
I think I wanted to know more about Billie's life as a person and what she was like. It was just like "oh how sad is this!! Look how sad. She is just sad". I can appreciate that because it is a sad story but I think it would have been nice to have peeks and valleys just so it wouldn't have been so one note. Billie seems like a fabulous person and there is so much more to her than just sad.
I do think that it handled everything really respectfully and it wasn't scared about showing anything. Some of the scenes are extremely harrowing and upsetting.
Andrea Day was fantastic though. She really had this sadness behind her performance. It was fantastic and definitely the best part of the movie.
I think that it could have been trimmed down as well. It was meandering and wasted it's time on pointless plots.
