Love You Anyway

I initially heard about this movie and got excited about it for one reason: CHARLIE GILLESPIE. Same for many people. He's a crazy beautifully talented and caring human. But as I watched it the deeper I got in the show I realized that writer/ director Anna Matz could have taken my diaries from high school and turned them into a movie. I felt so connected to "Mack" (Reign Edwards) in the first 30 minutes of the show than anything or anyone in my 38 years of life. I will continue to watch this over and over and recommend it to everyone and anyone. If you are going through something y'all reach out. Please.

10/10 review is always an alarm bell as few if any movies justify that score, i tried to watch based on the almost 8 rating from reviews, which i think must be from members of the cast & shall quickly be found out to be false and given it's more appropriate rating of below 5, a 5 and above being a watchable movie.

There is nothing of interest here, just boring disjointed nonsense with no redeeming qualities, nor interest at all.

3 for effort, but really 1 or 2 would be equally justifiable.

It's just bland uninteresting rubbish, & the ridiculous high ratings from friends or actors in the movie just highlight that, your fooling no one, but yourselves.

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 💖

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.

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.
