Diablo Cody's sharp, unflinching dialogue drives this character study of a woman in denial, making her both repellent and pitiable. The film's tonal tightrope walk between dark comedy and drama offers a masterclass in sustaining ambiguity, while the protagonist's unreliable voice challenges conventional redemption arcs.
