When Today Ends

The Wars That We Don't Know People Are Fighting" This is a hauntingly beautiful film that delves into the silent battles young people face, often unnoticed by those around them. With raw performances and a delicate, empathetic touch, the movie explores mental health, isolation, and the weight of emotional turmoil. Its poignant storytelling evokes deep emotions, shedding light on the unseen wars within. Cinematography and sound design further enhance the film's impact, creating a deeply reflective and important experience on the subject of teen suicide. MIchael Leoni is a genius. One of the most human storytellers of our time.

This was an extremely well done and thought provoking film. As a mother, it shook me to the core. I couldn't stop thinking about all of the subtle and not so subtle ways we can either boost our children up or bring them down in a works that's already difficult to navigate as it is. Suicide is an epidemic in our country and that needs to change. This is a must see!

If someone post suicide video, homeland security will take it down for sure. So this movie is quite untrue for first disclaimer but the story of why those suicide is concrete. Good for parents to watch this though.

A really important film that brings teenage depression and suicide front and center, something that is so often overlooked or not recognized. Stylistically shot with diverse characters that you are sure to connect with. This indie film is a must see!

The fragility of youth is on display in this gut wrenching film. The character of Jenna Ross is a standout with a nuanced performance played skillfully through the actress's eyes. The subject matter is heavy, and while you might feel tempted to want to share with younger audiences to make them feel seen, I think the content is best viewed by adults. As an adult viewer (in my case) too old to be familiar with the added pressures of social media in high school, I found the film enlightening. What seems innocuous as an adult onlooker feels like a crushing weight to teenagers riddled with hormones. The film styling, from the point of view of social media postings, is different and pulls the curtain back on what we all know to be curated content while still eliciting compassion for the poster. Worth a watch if just to remind us that we never know what another person is experiencing, so be kind.
