Midwaste is a unique documentary that really digs into the personal side of the opioid crisis, told through the lens of a clean addict in her mid-life. The filmmaker's use of poetic language and her alphabet of drug friends gives this a sort of raw intimacy that's hard to find in more traditional docs. You get this kind of reflective tone throughout, where she's not trying to paint a hero versus villain narrative. Instead, it’s more about her experience—how she redefines her identity post-addiction. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to sit with her experiences without rushing through. It’s an artful look at a deeply personal journey, blending visuals and narrative in a way that feels both grounded and poetic.
