Imogen Poots seizes the screen as Lidia Yuknavitch, who embraces swimming and sex and drugs and anger, all to make herself whole.

Adapting author Lidia Yuknavitch's 2011 memoir, the actor's directorial debut is one bruising, brilliant biopic.

Adapted from Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir about surviving childhood sexual abuse and finding an outlet for her pain in writing, the drama also features Thora Birch, Jim Belushi and Earl Cave.
