Jagged

1995 was the year of Alanis Morissette. Her groundbreaking album Jagged Little Pill delivered a rawness and emotional honesty that resonated with millions, with hits like “You Oughta Know”, “Hand in My Pocket”, “Ironic” and more. Alison Klayman’s (Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry) sensitive interviewing style gives Morissette the space to reflect on how she came to be the empowered woman so many admire, and what happens when a 21-year-old becomes a worldwide phenomenon. Some music documentaries serve mainly as a nostalgia trip, but Jagged goes further, offering a rare woman’s perspective on reaching the heights in the music business. As a natural people pleaser in her youth, Morissette put on a cheerful mask in public. Now she’s ready to share what was concealed.
