The documentary ends up both a delightful ’90s time capsule and a sharp analysis of the social and cultural forces that shaped Morissette’s career—for better and worse.

What are critics saying?
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Chandler Levack
Alison Klayman’s documentary about the making of Jagged Little Pill should be as raw as its source material, but plays it incredibly safe instead.
RogerEbert.com by Christy Lemire
Jagged rides the wave of that excitement, but avoids opportunities to explore deeper below the surface.
Consequence by Clint Worthington
If you’re looking for a heartwarming, affirming doc about how yes, you’re right to love Alanis Morissette, it’ll probably work for you. But don’t expect to learn anything new, or be wowed by its presentation.
