reverendlinneken The only thing this film had going for it was the acting. Completely unnecessary jabs are taken at trans people; tired, racist tropes are used to try and elicit a laugh; and in the end the take home message is that the depression the protagonist is feeling was nothing more than self indulgence. This was garbage, and it was an awful message to send to young people who deal with depression, which is a real thing that causes real pain and suffering. This film was awful, don't waste your time.

Krishna Raj The movie revolves around a suicidal American teenager Craig. Craig is suicidal because of various social elements and pressure to achieve big in life. Due to this, he lands up in a psychiatric hospital where he lives for 5 days and gets almost rejuvenated thereafter. The movie makes you feel inspired to live a desired and a positive approached life. The movie indirectly tells to find the happiness in small things. It has various special quotes that will work wonders if you'll think about it and later implement it. My favorite quote from the movie is, "God, grant me the strength to change the things I can, courage to accept the things I can't and wisdom to know the difference."

dirtphelia What did I just have to skip through to just get to the end and find out what happens? There are many problems with this whatever-shite-is, but the main issue is that it downplays mental illness and not only turns into a joke, it romanticizes it. It actually tries to make mental illness hip and trendy.Depression and other types of mental illness are very serious. Mental hospitals are also very serious. They're not little "vacations" as the vapid main character puts it. Serious depression isn't just something you "feel sometimes" as the main character's self-absorbed best friend puts it. Taking medication isn't cool as the other self-absorbed friend tries to imply.What is wrong with the people who made this junk?! And it's unrealistic from the get-go. What mental hospital admits an underage kid without his parents' consent? Where does that exist? Then it just lets mental patients stroll in and out of the ward? RUN??? One of the things one learns when one goes to a psych ward is: DON'T RUN.GARBAGE.And the color palette? Everything has to be muted neutrals or some pretentious crap? Get over yourselves.This "movie" needs to be burned.

ICanNeverThinkOfAGoodUsername The first I watched this film I thought it was amazing and I gave it a 10/10. However, when I watched it again I'd give it a 5/6. I think the extent to how much you enjoy this film depends on how you're feeling.When I first watched this film I was quite down, therefore this film really made me realise a lot of stuff. Whereas, now I'm watching this film with a completely different mindset.The main character, Craig... He represents a lot of people and a lot of people can relate to him in a lot of different ways. You can also relate to his friends and family throughout the film as well. It's a good film with a good meaning behind it.I wouldn't rate it higher because after seeing it again... I think it's good but not that good. I get what the film is trying to say and it all makes sense... But that's it. It's not exactly life changing, in saying that the first time I saw it I would have said the film was life changing...I'd recommend this film... It puts your life into perspective to some extent.
