catharsis

Few recent documentaries seem so committed to insisting viewers sit in their despair without any glimmer of release or catharsis.

The exhibition delves into themes of identity, angst, and catharsis that marked a generation's search for belonging and self-expression.

Residuals don’t last forever, and I guess now that everyone’s polyamorous and in open relationships, there’s not much need for the sweet catharsis of “Before He Cheats” anymore.

Exhausting as it was to make the movie, catharsis was its reward.

I was really angry about all that, and I wanted to use the show to have a group catharsis again, where the baddies get done, and the good people come out on top.
