many people here in america did not appreciate a mental disorder being advertized as true then that disclaimer and tv interviews by the directors stating it actually the situation called director's cut, directors rights, editing where as long as they keep to the .......general...... plot line they have the right to edit, cut and add to anything they want to edit out, edit in, falsify....

it was cut from the movie circuit here in america only after a couple months if I'm remember correctly.

it continued to run in canada for a while after that then discontinued when it wasnt making much money. then along comes online streaming and its active again in various editing , falsifying and so on that online streaming companies can do after they obtain a licence with the movie company for the rights.

my suggestion to anyone who wants to see it, first make sure you are in a good place mentally to watch it and two watch it with the understanding that though its marketed as ......based on a true story..... the producers, editors, streamers and so on do things to the movie to ensure they get the ratings / watcher ship, and money they are looking for.

even the most well known movie/ book out there about DID has been proven to contain misleading and falsified content admitted by her own journals and artwork.
I'm glad you replied.I didn't know about the disclaimer.I did know the movie was a flop though.

I would like to see one good movie that's a true representation of DID.But,movies are made to make money so I don't think that's going to happen.
Thanks for this!
