This is one of the most well-written, moving films I have seen in a long time. After it was over, I turned to Ben and told him I intend to own it.
Keir Gilchrist plays a 17-year-old boy who has thoughts of suicide and, being afraid he will act on them, checks himself into a psychiatric hospital. Gilchrist is an amazing actor, and he keeps good company. Zach Galifianakis and Emma Roberts appear as patients as well, and for once Galifianakis doesn't steal focus. It remained throughout, a strong ensemble piece.
What I loved most about this movie is that it humanized mental illness, and that the conclusion was so hopeful. The surprising conclusion for Gilchrist's character is so simple and wonderful.
