Offbeat documentary of attitudes about menstruation, and a supportive look at it

I enjoyed this film. At the start, I was worried it might be some preachy, fluffy piece. Right off the narrator's style was gentle and inquisitive. I was floored when some of the women interviewed refused to describe their menstrual cycle as a time for irrationality and being less-than-fully-there, instead re-framing it as being less directed at serving others and connecting with oneself. There is an interview with one of the doctors who helped make the implant for controlling menstruation, and it's chilling. In the end, it was a little light, but I was still surprised at how little fluff and compromise there was, and how it didn't try to wrap it all up with a simple answer. It's one of the few films I will be actively recommending to friends.
