‘Water Lilies’ and the Journey of Identity - Movie Review
A gentle coming of age story, Water Lilies takes its time in exploring what it’s like to be a young girl trying to make sense of her sexuality in a heteronormative world.

Filmed at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on 25 November 2011, this concert captures a typically raw and energetic performance by Staind on the tour in support of their eponymous album released in September last year, their first tour to feature new drummer Sal Giancarelli. The show features tracks from the new album mixed in with classic songs from across their career including many of their hit singles. This DVD follows the release of a live album from the Mohegan Sun show earlier in the year.

The film basically says she was a lost cause from the start. We don't get a sense of who Marilyn was.
