The Wounds We Cannot See

This is not very well done film. I cannot recommend it.

THE WOUNDS WE CANNOT SEE is a very powerul and gripping documentary! This film really moved me to my core. It was seriously powerful and so honest. This poor woman and her struggle is just brutal and the portrayal here is unappologetic. But I feel like it was all done to illuminate the issues here and not just entertain. Other reviewers mentioned PTSD and I totally get that. If you want to see something that really makes you think, you should see THE WOUNDS WE CANNOT SEE.

Very manipulative, both towards the audience, and in my opinion the subject. And exploitation and dramatization of pain to stroke a filmmakers ego.

This is a devastatingly sad film, so brutally honest and raw, if you can relate due to your own wounds you will find it profoundly real. I did. If you are a younger person or have been lucky enough to not have to experience some of these types of pain, loss or addiction in your life then you wont feel deep compassion for her and/or for other people with similar issues; nor find it as relatable as the aforementioned.

That said, I do recommend this film if you are on a recovery/self discovery journey of healing from your own wounds; if not, you will probably find it slow and boring...no it's not a high production action film, nor is it a deceptive film, it's real life tragic stuff. I believe it's a film that hope's to serve a higher purpose, to help another with similar issues or wounds.
