This documentary serves as a supplementary look at the production of a Lynchian masterpiece. It shifts the focus away from a purely director-centric perspective by emphasizing the contributions of female performers. However, the film lacks proactive demographic diversity. The cast and crew presented reflect a homogeneous industry standard, offering little in the way of racial or ethnic variety. While it engages with complex psychological themes, it does not actively champion characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity.
