Very badly assembled. No narration / off camera commentary. I didn't realise how essential this is for documentaries until I watched this one. Many long shots of pointless things that are not interesting or relevant, such as filming staff twice using the eye recognition technology when entering the facility. No introduction to the patients, just a lot of filming them in vulnerable moments. The camera pans on them for too long - when they are doing nothing! This was done when a woman was sitting outside smoking - why do we need 10-15 seconds of that. We don't. This could have been great and insightful but it feels like a badly shot, insensitive, amateur documentary.

Every single one of us, has a unique experience with his/her/their life. In this case it concentrates on women, but I am talking about anyone watching and how they probably are not entirely able to relate or understand - at least prior to watching the movie/documentary.

An interesting look and quite the insane dialogs at time. No pun intended - I don't think watching this will bring you to the brink of understanding everything that goes on behind bars or in a clinic. But it might give you a bit of appreciation - for those affected, either as patients or as nurses/workers. Not an easy one to watch for sure - for many reasons.
