It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010)

A depressed teenager gets himself admitted in the adult psychiatric ward.

A drama-comedy that presents in a sweet-bitter-sweet way all the different possible stages of depression and the power of a supporting entourage. The idea is interesting, the result is appealing, although maybe only due to the emphasis on tragicomedy, the producers leaving the more realistic elements for those essential stages in the anatomy of a film when the transition to an accentuated drama is mandatory.

Director:  Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck   
With: Keir Gilchrist, Zach Galifianakis, Emma Roberts, Dana DeVesterne

Rating: 8/10
