The Edge of Her Mind Anthology

After watching the anthology short films, it brought light to the thoughts and struggles that people, especially women, go through. Some of the stories helped me understand things a few of my personal friends and family maybe struggling with, but never voiced. The film was very creative and captures your full attention. These anthologies will give everyone, including men and children, an outlook on the struggles of mental health. These short films were put together in a way to get the message across quickly without taking away from the message. Great job to everyone involved in this project.

Every short film in this anthology comes from a very personal place, and as a result, every single one is universal in its appeal and relatability. This anthology creates a space for exploring women's mental health and at the same time, it is watchable for men too, who will be able to find parallels with their own experiences and see that none of us are really that different from each other.

My personal favourites were "Over The Moon" and "Fragile Storm." There is something in this anthology for everyone.

Great work to all involved.

Many challenges and moods to visually digest. Cinematography is worth the watch as well.

What stuck out for me was the Fragile Storm. The actors were strong and focused. Consistent acting energy. Dawn Fields really directed this piece with a high level of expertise. Solid production and worth your streaming time.

A turning and twisting range of emotions as feelings flow from one subject to the next sometimes dark but ever enchanting. Also, great to see so many filmmakers Shining Light on issues that touch all of us yet no one wants to speak about.

Anthology films are usually a mixed bag (I should know, I contributed to one). Edge of Her Mind is a rare case where each episode is amazing in its own way. The situations and emotions always ring true, whether it's heart wrenching drama, or ebullient comedy. The performances are strong across the board. I almost hesitate to mention it, because these are women-focused stories, but Lance Henriksen gives one of the best performances of his career. The writing and directing are excellent. And though the budget probably wasn't large, the production value was quite good. One small note, and maybe it was just an issue watching it on my system, but the closed captions on Tubi were way out of sync. Enough so that it was distracting. Other than that, I loved this film!
