Two Ways Home (2019)
Soul-touching and moving, TWO WAYS HOME compassionately follows Kathy (Tanna Frederick), a woman newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder who is released from prison on good behavior and returns to her country home in Iowa to reconnect with her estranged 12-year-old daughter (Rylie Behr) and her cantankerous elderly grandfather (Tom Bower).  Her return home is turbulent and a rough, unwelcome transition in which Kathy must come to terms with her diagnosis and its implications on her identity, while also realizing that her family was happier when she was gone. Conflict with her family intensifies as she struggles to keep her head above water, putting her self-worth and well-being to the ultimate test.

    I liked it

    It's on a indie budget but the story is big and that's all that matters. Great acting from everyone involved including the children. I did get emotional in the end so yes this is a bit of a tear jerker but totally worth.

    A tour de force

    This movie speaks to everyone on some level. It's treatment of mental illness is delicate yet poignant at the same time. Beautiful plot that is masterfully and richly developed. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this film and would highly recommend it!

    Like as if it was made by Michael Bay

    Expect one cut every third second. The edit ruins it for me. You can clearly see that there is a good script and some good ideas. But I'm sad to say that it's extremely hard to keep the feeling of the film when you constantly are interrupted by all the cuts.

    Great look at mental health

    The movie is extremely well acted especially from a lot of unknowns.

    Wonderful look at mental health and how it effects all people around you. Kathy has bipolar and when off the medications she acts crazy. It shows how it destroyed her relationship with her ex and her daughter. You could see why she is messed up as her parents and aunt are complete idiots. Her grandfather himself suffers from PTSD from the war, which one is not clear but he goes into the shakes and all. Finally Kathy acts normal and at the end her grandfather passes but her daughter seems to now like her. I truly enjoyed this indie.

    Bi-polar is a serious issue

    Started a little slow but by mid-way i was glued to the screen and really drawn in. A really well orchestrated film with not too much to complain about. 8 stars easily.
