I had the chance to see this film as a preview and can't wait for it to have wide release this fall. A moving, personal, heartbreaking and sometimes funny film, with great acting and some surprises that you won't anticipate. Lots of folks who have mental illness in their friends or family will resonate to this film. Hopefully, some who haven't seen mental illness up close and personal will gain new insights. This is a film that you could watch with your older children and have wonderful discussions as a result. The young boy actor is a real find--watch for him again as he has a bright acting future ahead of him, if Hollywood doesn't get its claws into him. And Marcia Gay Harden and Joe P are their usual solid nuanced performances.
