The direction of this movie not only made it feel as I'm watching a story about a serious subject of mental illness, but feelings of elation watching a wonderful transformation of self healing and hope. The simplicity of this movie made me feel as I am brought in to the telling of Taren's story as well as all characters. I highly recommend anyone who has had or felt depression or known anyone with depression to watch this movie. The "ups" and "downs" were portrayed in such a real manner. I have so much empathy for Taren and am so grateful to be brought along on her journey. Such a fantastic portrayal of pain, healing, hope and self discovery.
