90% of violent crimes are committed by people who do not have any history of serious mental illnesses. I'm pretty sure people suffering with serious mental illnesses are actually more likely to be the victims rather than perpetrators of violent crimes. I can't believe film makers didn't do a preliminary moment of research and actually agreed to making this. I knew from the first 10 minutes this movie started it would be littered with false information contributing to the dangerous and offensive myths affecting the already struggling mental health community. This doctor on numerous occasions made evil synonymous with serious mental illness. My heart just broke for everyone watching this that suffers from DID or SMIs and those that have or lost loved ones that do. I could not believe this movie was made in 2020.
After watching this, I followed up with a fact check and it's absolutely riddled with misleading information or falsehoods so she can support her narrative. If these killers were just in a dissociative state, why would they be covering up and hiding their crimes?
I also found it baffling that audiences and Laura Dern just accepted the fact that this woman was painting these terrible killers to be merely victims of their conditions without even mentioning the people that they killed. Who thought this was a good idea or this woman had credibility?
Movies like this are the reason why those living with smi are estranged from their families, fired from their jobs, become homeless... The producers and filmmakers need to take some accountability for the dangerous stigma they create.
