My Life As A Movie
Join Michelle, Helen and Tracy each week as we review a movie from a 'human' point of view. We delve into what they reveal to us about ourselves, others and the world we live in. We talk about how movies and the power of storytelling can be used as a tool for greater self awareness, growth and even change.

Helen, Jacob and Michelle review this 1940's biographical drama about jazz singer Billie Holliday, starring Golden Globe winning actress Andra Day. We sing the praises of Andra's performance, commitment and transformation for her debut-acting role. Jacob explains why he's ok with calling people 'complicated' and shares which scene he appreciated the most, creatively speaking. We disagree on whether the movie was slow and talk about 'those abs.' We connect with Andra's human fear of failure and the universality of addiction. We talk about the persistence, courage and resilience that resided within Billie, that also resides within all of us.
