| Washington PostMichael O'Sullivan'Mortified Nation' is genuinely entertaining, but also subversively profound and surprisingly moving. |
| User ReviewScott AI first heard about Mortified last year after my friend went to show in San Francisco. I had totally forgotten about it until I stumbled upon Mortified Nation on Netflix. I absolutely adored it and strongly urge everyone to watch it. It is the most endearing, honest, and funny thing I've seen in quite sometime. I now desperately need to go to a live showing. |
| User ReviewShannan MI watched it this weekend and loved it. Mortified Nation is a documentary about a stage show held in many cities across the nation at which people read portions of the tween and teen diaries. The good parts, the naive parts, the mortifying parts. The result is both hilarious and touching. And while the film is for adults, it reminds parents of the ridiculously intense feelings teens feel, and of their complete lack of perspective. Absolutely worth watching. |
| User ReviewMichael DThis is a really well-done look at the Mortified reading series, where people get on stage and read embarrassing entries from their teenage diaries. It does a great balancing act between the humorous and the poignant. To steal a line from my wife, this is a movie about human beings. |
| User ReviewTrevor WAn engaging documentary on the Mortified movement, where people read their diaries and journals from when they were young in front of an audience. Every entry and the story behind it manages to be both hilarious and heartwarming, and the lessons come from the minds of adolescents and the mouths of their grown up selves. The last line sums up the film perfectly: "We're freaks, we're fragile, but we made it." |
| User ReviewSarah BI laughed and cried. So relatable and comforting. Genuine people with genuine stories. "You do not need talent to be a rock god." |
| User ReviewAmanda HThe thing that makes Mortified so great is that EVERYONE has said, done or written something embarrassing as a child or teen, so there's not a person alive who can't relate somehow. This documentary is absolutely hilarious and I had a great time watching it. |

| User ReviewSpencer SThis documentary follows a stage show that has travelled the entire United States and has cropped up in other countries, letting grown adults share their childhood traumas, their drama and frank naiveté. People read from their diaries on stage for people, and this film tells their back stories. It also tells the story of how the show started, and what it means for the performers and the audience. The performances are pretty great since everything these people expose is real and sometimes truly painful. This film really made me remember the anguish of being a teenager, and the impact it's still having on my life in my early twenties. Though some of that stuff still resonates, I also remember the cowardice, the ignorance, and petty fighting, which pepper these performances like the perfect spice. This film will make you want to share and lambast yourself until kingdom come. It will also make you remember the good, the reasonably weird, and the selfishness, all in one fell swoop. |
