    Overdue empathy from a self-absorbed spoiled kid star
    Obviously the film is still about her and her story, so it's basically self-absorbed. I am not really interested i her, I am interested in the nostalgia and looking back at the period.

    The film is a sad reflection of what happens in life when we are given everything. We often lose meaning. We need something bigger than ourselves and perhaps she is realizing this now. I don't know if that's true or if that's for the purpose of looking good for the documentary.

    There are so many sad stories like the ones in this film.

    If we can gain anything from this film, it's that people are struggling and too often we are selfish and don't notice until it's too late.

    Perhaps we need to look outside ourselves for happiness and purpose.

    Kid Soleil
    The film in it's entirely is not bad. Hence the 6/10 I gave it. Like others have commented, although there is a lot of archival footage of other 90s actors and the viewer gets a sense of what it was like to grow up in 90s Hollywood, make no mistake, this film is about Soleil Moon Frye. One major criticism I can give is that at times it seems like the film is just one big pity party, with Soleil repeatedly airing her grievances about how she is unhappy with the way her career (or lack thereof) turned out post Punk Brewster, and how various men wanted to have sex with her when she was a teenager. Almost MeToo-ish. I thought it was a bit classless on her part to reveal that Charlie Sheen was the one that took her virginity without exactly spelling it out for the audience. It's worth watching but the film is probably not what you are expecting it would have been.
