Demi Lovato sits for extended on-camera interviews alongside her family, managers, trainers, and songwriters, tracing the years between her Disney Channel breakout and her mid-2010s reinvention as a solo pop artist. Archival footage covers her 2010 stint in treatment following a physical altercation on tour, and she speaks plainly about cocaine and alcohol use, a bipolar diagnosis, self-harm, and an eating disorder that started in childhood. The film follows her into the recording studio for the album "Tell Me You Love Me," watching her rebuild a working relationship with her mother and negotiate a public image built on the word "recovery" while admitting how fragile that recovery actually feels day to day. Home movies from her teenage years sit next to present-day footage of her gym routine and voice lessons, giving a before-and-after shape to the story without smoothing over the setbacks. It ends without declaring her cured, closer to a status report than a triumph narrative.
