The official description is grossly misleading. 1/1 is simply a forcefed tale of woe, dressed up with smash cuts and monotone voiceovers and offering almost nothing in the way of a "brighter path ahead."
Lissa is miserable because she's stuck in a small, economically depressed town, possibly pregnant, her mother estranged and her father lost to suicide. Exposition on these topics last until the final five minutes of the film. At no point does "the structure of the film mature," and the "brighter path" is simply that she isn't pregnant and she's on speaking terms with her mother again. Yes, really, that's all. No great revelations, no life-altering decisions, just an existence ever-so-marginally less bleak.
If you'd like to wallow in pure unhappiness, the films of Todd Solondz will at least respect you as a viewer.
