To Leslie (2022)
4/10
Oversimplified; expected something more.

This was far too topical, since there's little more to it than the basic outline of the true story it was based on. It certainly didn't explore a woman's lifetime history regarding the possibilities of Why anything evolved into the series of situations that it had.

The after-events of the full breakdown of a person's functional life are something portrayed as though they are just today's ugly facts. There's nothing to suggest anything about Who gets this way, other than just like, "The Weak," "Those Who Repeat Mistakes," etc. It showed less of any internal suffering more than "here's what she's like when drunk," and "what a bad mom." It treated a small-scale reversal of fortune that anyone could suffer into a shame game.

Frankly, it barely has a pretense of sympathy and second chances, and is told in a rather mundane way.
