I really appreciated this film because of the extensive amount of archival research it took to put this together. Full disclosure: I was not a huge Didion fan, even less so familiar with her work. But this was a fun and enlightening journey delving into nearly every facet of Didion's career and personal life. Although captivating it became a tad bit too prosaic defined by the B story diversions that would have presented better in brief, this just being my humble opinion of course. If you're a Didion fan this is a must see, obviously.

Sometimes you need a roll down memory lane to create perspective, and this documentary does just that. Don't go into this thinking you're watching just another skate or music doc made from lost VHS archives (although that's part of it) - There's a lot of those but this one stands out and resonates as it checks off all the boxes while stitching together an ostensibly disparate narrative, placing the viewer in the middle of all the chaos the title states. Don't sleep on this one, get your pads on and drop in.
