The official description is grossly misleading. 1/1 is simply a forcefed tale of woe, dressed up with smash cuts and monotone voiceovers and offering almost nothing in the way of a "brighter path ahead."

Lissa is miserable because she's stuck in a small, economically depressed town, possibly pregnant, her mother estranged and her father [spoiler]lost to suicide[/spoiler]. Exposition on these topics last until the final _five minutes_ of the film. At no point does "the structure of the film mature," and the "brighter path" is simply that [spoiler]she isn't pregnant[/spoiler] and she's on speaking terms with her mother again. Yes, really, that's all. No great revelations, no life-altering decisions, just an existence ever-so-marginally less bleak.

If you'd like to wallow in pure unhappiness, the films of Todd Solondz will at least respect you as a viewer.
