An important film about love and dealing with loss
I found this film very moving, and deeply personal. It resonated with my personal experience of grief and the complexities of dealing profound loss. The movie addresses mental health issues, especially among teens, and the impact they have on families and friends in an unflinching and heartfelt manner.
This movie is a must watch for anyone who has friends and family dealing with mental health challenges (and who doesn't?) It brings about a genuine appreciation and highlights the importance of suicide prevention. The movie sheds light on a narrative that is as much about those left behind as it is about the one who leaves.
For viewers like myself, who has experienced a similar path of loss, the film is deeply relatable. It's an important film. Although this is a faith based film and I am not a religious person, and yet I had no problems relating to the parents or others in the faith community depicted. In one scene towards the end, when different parties come together to reconcile their differences and humble themselves in the presence of god, I actually found it deeply moving.
The characters are so human, the story so important, I would recommend this movie to everyone. I'm very glad I saw this film, and am grateful for the filmmakers for channeling their pain into something inspiring, which I hope will help many others.
