The Edge of Her Mind Anthology

With a variety of POVs and cinematic styles, it's one of the most dynamic and refreshing anthologies you will see this decade. If you want the talent of Sundance but would rather sit at home, out of the snow and take in the groundbreaking messages in your pajamas, watch Edge of Her Mind. If you are a woman, if you know a woman or if you've ever come into the vicinity of a woman, you might get something out of it. The personal standouts for me were Abundance Cafe, Uncertainship and especially Fragile Storm. Talk about subjects that I will probably think about 8 years later or films that can change the way you think about humanity. Don't skip out on this one.

After watching the anthology short films, it brought light to the thoughts and struggles that people, especially women, go through. Some of the stories helped me understand things a few of my personal friends and family maybe struggling with, but never voiced. The film was very creative and captures your full attention. These anthologies will give everyone, including men and children, an outlook on the struggles of mental health. These short films were put together in a way to get the message across quickly without taking away from the message. Great job to everyone involved in this project.

Not a blockbuster but the movie is a well thought out collection of short stories giving insight into various situations or circumstances a woman may experience, and ingeniously conveying their subconscious mind for the audience to understand. The two anthologies I could relate to the most and even remotely consider educational were about caregivers. The script and acting were amateurish in some of the segments. Herein, with these inconsistencies, it lost some of its' power. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who has ADHD. The movie is fast moving and hard to follow at times. An important detail can be lost in the blink of an eye and the movie is definitely not good enough to keep one on the edge of their seat.

Many challenges and moods to visually digest. Cinematography is worth the watch as well.

What stuck out for me was the Fragile Storm. The actors were strong and focused. Consistent acting energy. Dawn Fields really directed this piece with a high level of expertise. Solid production and worth your streaming time.

A turning and twisting range of emotions as feelings flow from one subject to the next sometimes dark but ever enchanting. Also, great to see so many filmmakers Shining Light on issues that touch all of us yet no one wants to speak about.
