Dancing with the Devil is raw and heartbreaking and challenging to watch — which makes it all the more imperative that people do hear Lovato’s harrowing story. ... This is not a fun, poppy documentary, and it’s also not four episodes of hot goss. There’s a calming quality to the fact that the backgrounds of these interviews feature water or fountains or palm trees, while the clothes seem to pop with light, bright colors, as the concern in everyone’s voices will keep you watching.

The reason the series will resonate is because of how candid she is about the complexities of addiction, the bumpy road of recovery, the pressures to be a poster child for sobriety, and the effects an episode like the one she experienced has on those in a person’s life. It’s perhaps corny but valid to venture that it could even save people’s lives.

While she demonstrates courage to share the hardest portions of her life, the massive hurdles associated with drugs, her arduous physical recovery, and her own soul searching — the documentary’s staging also feels especially shallow. From the gauche title card showing the cloaked singer looking over a foggy mountain to the cheerleading interviews with friends and family, we don’t get the sense that the singer’s veneer has fallen. Rather it’s been reshaped and retooled for the moment.

the documentary itself is really great and has a important message to the world about addictions and eating disorders

I wasn't expecting this to be so good. Never felt so connected to a celebrity just by watching a documentary. She deserves respect.
