Ok, this was a long time ago. I know I was so pleased to see puberty and periods actually talked about and acknowledged. I know they did a nice job of talking about generational trauma and the process of healing each new generation as we move forward. I remember being sad that the healing for the younger generation did not seem to equal healing for the older relatives in the film. I feel that healing works backward in time as well as forward, but that's just me.
It was funny and original and a good watch!
