Losing a loved one is often a very sad experience. For humans it is natural to mourn the loss of a loved one. Although everyone suffers differently, grief is a universal experience. For most people grief resolves naturally, but some people can face symptoms similar to that of major depression. Although the typical grief period carries on for about two to six months, people can now be diagnosed with major depressive disorder within weeks of experiencing symptoms. Even well-known psychologists such as Sigmund Freud have stated, “...although mourning involves grave departures from the normal attitude toward life, it never occurs to us to regard it as a pathological condition and to refer it to a medical treatment. We rely on its being overcome after a certain lapse of time, and we look upon any interference with it as useless or even harmful’’(Shear, 2011). The elimination of the bereavement exclusion from the upcoming Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition will pathologize the normal grief process, which will soon lead to over diagnosis of major depressive disorder and blur the fine line between grief and depression.

In the movie, Joanne may seem like a privileged black person who fails to understand the continuous presence of social inequality, such as the gentrification of the African American communities in San Francisco that is still affecting poor colored people like Micah. Micah wants to stop Joanne from hiding from racial problems because of her economical and educational privileges. The movie suggests that San Francisco’s tragic failure lies in the city’s false understanding of the severe social inequality. The film shows this by letting Joanne leave Micah – the man that can expose this truth to her. However, this film lacks pessimistic overtones. In fact, it suggests that the separation of Joanne and Micah could be temporary – the movie still leaves indeterminate whether Joanne will come back or not. This proposes that San Francisco still has a chance of identifying
