    Gr8 movie

    It's a very nice movie and feels heartfelt. Really throws a curveball at the end.

    One of-a-kind heart and soul tearjerker

    Quirky, jarring, touching, and overall unconventional plot which makes it a really unique film. I was reminded of other "broke the mold" stories like Harold & Maude, Being There, and Little Miss Sunshine but even then there's not much else to compare this remarkable dramedy-romance to. All the principal actors do amazing jobs with their performances, and issues of mental illness, PTSD, and living with trauma all come to light in this very powerful and unpredictable film.

    Wonderfully poignant

    I couldn't possibly like this movie more. It was unique, beautifully written and acted.and both funny and sad. It has much in common with several of my favorite movies. I laughed and cried and highly recommend it.

    Haven't seen a movie like this ever...

    It was a comedy and a drama and a love story and wow! I felt every emotion possible in an hour and a half. This movie leaves you thinking. My teen daughter and I talked about many important topics for hours after watching it.

    An Unexpected Gem

    This is a movie that will tug on your heartstrings. It handles a very serious topic in a very realistic way, and that's what I love about it. It doesn't overly-dramatize this particular story, but it also doesn't undersell the amount of pain Casey is going through.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the humorous bits, but I also really enjoyed the more serious talks between Casey and Jess. I only wish more people like Jess existed because we could all use a friend like that.

    I honestly wasn't expecting the ending to go the way it did, but I will just say that this is a movie that you won't forget.

    We all know that not everyone makes it; some of us have more fight in us than others, and that's what speaks volumes about this film.

    The Enormity of Life is truly an art: you cannot save people, you can only love them. They've got to do their own bit of saving, and oftentimes, it's our lack of desire to get it, that makes us our own worst enemy. Love truly does inspire, and it does make us do crazy things.

    Love this unique story and it's definitely a movie I'd recommend.
