Intelligent, Intense, Riveting, Emotional

See it if you don't mind a bit of very dark humor (the song about prescription meds). Intensely moving story. Wonderful, but bring tissues.

Don't see it if you dislike something that leaves you feeling saddened for the characters involved. It's a story about lives disrupted by mental illness.
