Character One: Susan is a raw, unflinching dive into the chaos that defines its titular character. The film paints a portrait of a woman who’s both captivating and disturbing, blending moments of clarity with disorientation. The pacing feels erratic, perfectly mirroring Susan’s fractured mind. It’s not just about her struggles with addiction but also her misguided attempt to align herself with the glamour of bygone stars. The atmospheric cinematography enhances this tension, almost trapping you in her world. Performances are gritty and authentic, adding a layer of reality that’s hard to shake off. What stands out is how it manages to evoke empathy amidst the chaos, making it a distinctive entry in the documentary genre.
