Jagged (film)

Jagged is a 2021 documentary film directed by Alison Klayman. The film explores the life and career of singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, focusing primarily on the period surrounding the release and impact of her seminal 1995 album, Jagged Little Pill.

The documentary includes archival footage, performance clips, and an extensive interview with Morissette herself. It delves into themes of fame, sexism, mental health, and the challenges of navigating the music industry as a young woman in the 1990s.

While the film garnered significant attention upon its release, including premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, Morissette publicly distanced herself from Jagged shortly after its debut. She expressed discomfort with certain aspects of the film's portrayal of events and its focus on specific personal experiences. This resulted in some controversy surrounding its accuracy and Morissette's level of involvement.
