AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Russ This is a truly beautiful and tender film. It Portrays three individuals with quite severe mental illnesses, and shows all of us a path to recovery via compassion and a sense of humor. The script is fantastic, and the acting/directing is sublime.Zoe Kravitz and Dev Patel are artists to be admired, but they outdo themselves in this film.

SnoopyStyle Vincent Rhodes (Robert Sheehan) suffers from Tourette Syndrome. After his mother's death, his estranged father Robert (Robert Patrick) sends him away for treatment. He is roomed with obsessive clean freak Alex (Dev Patel). He falls for anorexic Marie (Zoë Kravitz). He and Marie run away stealing Dr. Rose (Kyra Sedgwick)'s car. Alex is going to tell on them so they kidnap him. The trio have an adventure as Robert and the doctor pursue them. Robert is unable to call the cops because of his political ambitions.These are three interesting young performers in a fun road trip. They have great chemistry together. Zoë is enchanting and Dev is funny. I've been a fan of Sheehan since Misfits. As long as the movie stays with the group, it is perfectly fine. I find the ending satisfying. The three characters have their potholes in the road. They're not completely fixed in the end but they are better which is expected for this type of movie. Patrick and Sedgwick form the other half of the movie. Some of their scenes could be cut. In many ways, they are unimportant. I would rather spend the time with the trio as they work out their issues.

Raquel Wow! I laughed, cried, throughout this movie. I was amazed to find out that this was a directorial debut for director/writer Gren Wells. If you love falling in love with characters as they head on their journey, this movie is for you! Through the seriousness of the disorders this movie takes on (which, by the way, were beautifully portrayed by Kravitz, Patel and Sheehan) I was able to feel with them, laugh with them, and cry with them. The Tourette's Syndrome, OCD, and Anorexia that they took hold of was captivating. I could tell that a whole lot of thought was put into researching Tourette's by Gren Wells and Robert Sheehan because they gave us just enough of Tourette's. It would have been extremely easy to portray too much of ticks and mannerisms and make him look silly, but fortunately his interpretation was sincere and gave us just enough. I applaud him and the whole cast for the care they took with their characters and their corresponding illnesses. I would call this film 'careful' in the greatest way. It is extraordinary to find a director paired with an outstanding cast that take great care in their art. I loved it!

Niki So I just finished watching this film and I would first like to say, if you're looking for an exciting and riveting plot; you've come to the wrong place. However, if you prefer a story with incredibly compelling characters played by incredibly talented actors, than you definitely need to watch this movie. Robert Sheehan, who plays Vincent, does a remarkable job portraying someone with Tourette's without going overboard. Although some of what he says during his ticks are funny, you can tell that they also cause him agony and they is shown through his facial expressions and his tone of voice. Similarly, Dev Patel who plays Alex does another remarkable job of playing someone with OCD (at least in my opinion). Zoe Kravitz's character is both witty and carefree but also intensely tragic. I believe this movie has a good combination of feel good moments and moments where you truly empathize with the characters. Though the concept of a road trip plot is slightly overdone, the landscapes are beautiful and the three young actors have a way of keeping you interested and entertained the entire time. You find yourself wanting to know all of them on an even deeper level which I believe is quite telling of how compelling they are. There were moments that were difficult to watch and made me a bit emotional while there were also scenes where I laughed out loud. It really gives you a perspective on what it is like with a mental illness, especially as a teenager and the complications that they cause. Overall, not a perfect flick but Kravitz, Patel, and Sheehan are definitely worth checking this film out.
