Lovato deserves plenty of kudos... but this "setting the record straight" feels a little too controlled to truly be engaging and emotionally immersive.
It takes a lot of courage for Lovato to lay her struggles bear in a documentary such as this. While the later half feels closer to promotion, there's enough candid and honest revelations to stand out.
Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil can be a triggering experience, but it's her truth, her life, and her soul laid bare for all to see. Only now, she's revealing it all, not a tabloid.
The four-part docuseries offers a raw and candid account of Demi's painful battle with drug abuse, sexual abuse, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, self-harm and alcohol addiction.
Although some might question Lovato's need to reveal this to the public, she goes about it with a bracing sense of honesty about her situation...and even a certain sense of humor at times.
The furthest thing possible from a reputation-branding documentary for a star, Lovato's film is full of shocking revelations- and it's hard not to have sympathy.
A bold and sometimes bleak documentary, which lays the briars of fame bare. It's a troubling watch, but the courage to stand this starkly in the spotlight is to be commended.
