What I liked

The home videos were a nice touch. It was a touching way to see how she grows into an adult. She bravely and honestly shared her struggles. She also did an amazing job of deconstructing the stereotypes of OCD, explaining it to the audience in an easily digestible manner.

What I didn't like

NA

My overall impression

Marissa shares deeply personal and enlightening stories from her life and struggles with OCD, all set under the backdrop of the looming Eaton Fire. It was a beautiful show, highlighted by a segment where she plays music and sings to home videos of herself.
