Love You Anyway

This film honestly relates so much to me minus the depression part but mackenzie nd lucas both have an awesome friendship honestly I cried 10 times ngl but tha means it's good I my opinion 💖

Fresh! Beautiful! Sweet! Painful! Relieving! Heartwarming! Some of the words that best describes Love You Anyway. Although I can say that the movie is not for everybody but it does hit right in my feels for me. When I was about the same age as Lucas and Mac, I sort of had the same situation, suicidal thoughts, the drinking, but I got passed that now. For those who hadn't been through the same situation, they may find the movie just "good" but for someone who's been in it, and did not show any signs til it was too late to family and friends, it was a beautiful movie that seemed like the story was ripped out of my journal in my teen years. Mental health is vital, and not a lot of people know that or acknowledge that, and that's why I applaud the creator and crew of the film for showcasing and giving us this movie. I recommend it to people who've been and are in a tricky mental debate, struggle, and situation, AND I also recommend it for those who know people going through it. Great job to Charlie and Reign, and to all the cast and crew for the emotions portrayed in the film. Oh and, I cried a lot. At 3am! LIKE A LOT! It's such a fresh take on movie directing too, and most of the time, I got the feels as my mind sort of forgot that they were just acting. Damn I even yelled NO when a specific scene came. And, it's so freaking painful to see Charlie in pain and in tears, my mind thought it was a real video when he was only acting. It's just magnificent! I love the film.

Charlie gillespie and reign Edward's were fantastic. I was swept away by their onscreen friendship. I could relate to the struggles gillespie was amazing he made me cry and feel his emotions.

What a journey they both take you on! Some moments were hard to watch. Yet relevant to what so many of us have lived & survived in our own families. Thank you for bringing awareness to teen suicide & mental health. And thank you for giving us the gift of Charlie Gillespie on the screen. Kept hoping he would sing too. He's so talented & gifted. Draws you in every time.

This is not your typical "teenager goes through depression" kind of movie. This is an unique movie that takes a turn on how you approach mental health from the point of view of those who are struggling with it. The fact that it is on "home videos" format just adds to it, because we get to peek inside the characters' most intimate thoughts and you begin to understand and relate a lot to what they go through. It's an honest mental health journey, it's raw and it has so much depth to the dialogues and monologues. Reign Edwards and Charlie Gillespie delivered brilliant performances, they really gave the life it needed to the friendship, the love and the meaning of having someone to just be there for you mo matter what. Amazing job from the cast and crew, it's worth every minute.
