User Review
This film is a bit too quirky for my taste. I don't connect with the story or the characters.
Good movie!

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.
This film was like a breath of fresh air. the premise was simple and the characters were beautiful. no one was made out to be the villain. easily one of the most memorable movies I've watched to date. now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go place an order for Walt Whitman's works :-)
Absolutely amazing I love this movie and how to talks about an important topic which is mental health because there aren't too many movies that talk about this.
Lucas Jade Zumann and Taylor Russel are phenomenal in this film. It's a beautiful portrayal of mental health and first love. I really loved it. Highly recommend it to everyone, not just teens.
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.
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.
Brilliant film! Highly recommend! Wonderful story!
