This film was thought provoking, discussion worthy and kept you on your mental toes. Something we need in the black community in order to be able to openly discuss what we experience in private. What goes on in the dark, does come to light. Whether we talk about it or not!

S/O to the legend T.C Carson, as well as the cast that actually looked very good on screen. As for the handling of the subject matter, personally I think it is very insensitive and crude to have this movie exist, while as an African-American community, we strive for PROPER representation and dialogue surrounding the mental health sigma.

This movie essentially waters down a serious diagnosis, gives an unrealistic treatment scenario and ends up having the viewer borderline scared of a black man with the particular disorder.

What about the spectrum? What about true long term community support? And the resolution at the end served no true help towards a person who may be looking at this film to gain a shred of hope for understanding.

This film set the conversation back. Significantly. I wish Mr. Carson had spoken up more in the development because his efforts were dually noted as a compassionate and well spoken therapist.

However, overall this film is a lewd portrayal of what many black men facing this affliction or anything similar face. If you're watching this for educational purposes...please don't take it to heart and search for a different example.

I love the way the story depleted a young adult men as a talented architect dealing with bipolar. It took you through the highs and lows of his illness. It also shows how it affects family and friends. The movie is enjoyable to watch.

I am ultimately surprised. This movie started off slow but made up for it in the end with the complicated twist. I think they did a really good job of Showing how complicated Bipolar disorder can really be. I think after this movie Peoples Eyes will be wide open from the truth. Finally someone has shown light on a sickness to often down played and over looked. The cast ...did a really good job.

So happy to see a movie that so directly addresses the issues associated with mental illness. And I appreciate the end message of: beyond medications & therapy, it's primarily an issue of ACCEPTANCE, which is especially hard for a newly diagnosed young person to grapple with. Kudos to all involved with this project.
