One Second at a Time

About This Movie

One Second at a Time dives deep into the complexities of addiction and the harrowing effects it has on individuals and their families. Christine Ortoll's journey, marked by vulnerability and resilience, unfolds in an almost raw, unfiltered manner. The film's pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to sit with the weight of her struggles and the stark reality of her ultimate fate. It’s not just about substance use; it's also a poignant exploration of mental health, community, and the often invisible battles many face. The atmosphere feels heavy yet honest, making it distinct in its approach to a difficult subject. The emotional performances resonate deeply, evoking empathy and reflection.

As of now, 'One Second at a Time' appears to be relatively new to the collector's scene, with limited releases and some discussions in niche circles around its raw, unfiltered storytelling. The film's focus on mental health and addiction may spark interest in thematic collections, but its scarcity in physical formats could make it a unique find for those pursuing deeper, more personal narratives in documentary filmmaking. Keep an eye on future releases as I expect there could be more buzz as the film garners attention in festivals and discussions.
