    Lucas Jade Zumann is new Logan Lerman

    A wonderful cast that understands the wonderful script and the scenario that accompanies the wonderful song selection. The movie doesn't promise much. It's not a blockbuster anyway. The film expertly tells a small story. Which is why I like little stories of little people. Lucas Jade Zumann will write his name in the 21st century.

    Whitman Quirks

    It's too quirky for its own good...trying to weave finding his sister in with a new love interest and advice from a bird - this movie is all over the place. What could be touching is so schmaltzy that it loses its bite altogether.

    Beautiful Dark Comedy

    I appreciate the reality this movie depicts of the very serious mental health issues that exists in our youth today. Very beautiful filmed! Has some laughs, also brings some tears. Loved it overall.

    Beautiful film about teen mental health

    Loved this film! The actors were amazing and the film was beautifully shot. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is a teenager or has been one in the past. It makes you realize you're not alone and mental health is a real thing. Thank you for making this film.
