Amazing treatment against depression
It seems that Mel Gibson had quite some experience with depression himself. and boy, that shows in this movie. He was real, and the treatment with the beaver puppet he found in the garbage was a a gift from God, when everything els had failed. Sometimes in life we just take ourselves too serious. I had a couple of great laughs during the movie. And by the way Jodie Foster and Jennifer Laurence are also in top shape. Just a lovely movie to get over it....and not jump out of the window or do something else supid when you feel low. Just go and watch this!
A dark comedy with substance
Mel Gibson has always been one of my favorite actors and after Braveheart and Heartbreak Ridge I would say he is a visionary in the directing world. Mel Gibson gives a wonderful performance in this film that perfectly reaches out to the public about the subject of suicide it seems like everyone is uncomfortable with talking about. From beginning to end it captures what it's like on both sides of someone dealing with depression and suicidal tendencies and the separation of one's mind from the body to try to survive as well as the side of the family who is trying to deal with it. A fantastic movie for someone who can relate to dealing with in anyway depression or suicide. It has a few outspoken moments reaching out to people who have this mental affliction.
