Review of My Beautiful Broken Brain (2014) by Tony D — 15 Jul 2016

"This is where I learn about the outer reaches of human vulnerability & strength..." A 34-year old writer & videographer records her own slow recovery from a stroke that briefly robs her of memory & language, leaves her vulnerable to hallucinations & seizures.

She films to record what she can't write & won't remember. The humor, curiosity & bravery with which Lotje Sodderland struggles up from helplessness to a transformed reality is disturbing, wondrous.

"I've discovered the fragility of the mind ...& its inner strengths." Also? Kind of a love letter to David Lynch.
