And hell had never seen a mother this hot with fury.

Yet is not solely a tragedy. In its second act, the film pivots to a surprising, almost sardonic exploration of modern entertainment. Brenda, against her better judgment, agrees to a documentary. A young, hungry filmmaker named Jules (an electric debut by Kai Thompson) pitches Brenda a project: What Happened to Brenda Hartwell? Jules promises a “sensitive reclamation” of Brenda’s story. But as the cameras follow Brenda to grocery stores, to her Pilates class, to a pitiful dinner with an old producer who now sells real estate, the line between documentary and exploitation blurs.

This is a film about time, and it feels like time running out.
