Why Netflix’s Joan Didion documentary is a must-watch — even if you don’t know who she is

Decider

Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold, Griffin Dunne’s Netflix documentary on his legendary aunt and writer, “is a must-watch,” says Meghan O'Keefe, “because of how it offers a way to stand up to the incessant waves of tragedy that smack into all of our lives — either through the news, mental illness, physical pain, or personal loss – at one point or another. The answer is to do as Joan Didion has done: Examine these monsters with unflinching honesty, and to cling to all that is beautiful in life.”
