Seen it a few times at different fests. It\’s a tough watch, but the filmmaking is so strong that I was willing to go down every brutal path it took me on, and found it rewarding in the end.

When I watched it with some friends at PIFF earlier this year, one of them hilariously stated, after the credits rolled, that he feared the film may have destroyed his soul. I found that to be an appropriate response to My Joy, and too funny not to share.
