Director : Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck
Running Time : 102 mins
Craig Gilner (Gilchrist) is a gifted high school student who thinks that life is just too hard, so decides he might be better off if her were to commit suicide. Realising these thoughts might not be normal, he manages to check himself into an adult psychiatric unit for observation, where he is shown around be fellow patient Bobby (Galifianakis), and he falls for teenage patient Noelle (Roberts).
This is a very interesting, well observed movie that seems to rely on the premise that a teenager that might think he has depression is actually just going through all the normal problems that every teenager in the world might experience. The story is touchingly charming and definitely falls into the feel good category as the character of Craif manages to make a place for himself in the world and finally realises that he shouldn’t try to meet other peoples expectations and instead do what he wants with his life.
