I Think I'm Sick

This is a debut film from a director who has hundreds of thousands of followers for his you tube how-to videos.

A self-penned, directed and edited film, it's a fabulous piece of work, both darkly funny and terribly sad with brilliant, well drawn 3D characters that are flawed, beautiful, troubled and funny.

There's plenty of excellent dialogue and laugh out loud moments among the devastating sadness that surrounds the film. Really excellently done, subtle points that at times fill you in on the back story without ever punching you in the face with clunky exposition.

The actors all do terrific jobs, with a range of characters that are really well written with masses of empathy for them. The story almost never goes quite where you expect it to.

It will be a terrible shame if this doesn't get distribution and get to be seen by many more people.

If you get the chance to see this and you like low-key indie films with great characters that doesn't follow the Hollywood style this is an absolute must-see.

I don't really write reviews, but this film is worth me going out of the way to do so.

First off- the storytelling, cinematography, audio design, and acting were all top-notch. I was completely immersed in the world within the first few minutes.

This film does what the best films do; it makes you ask yourself questions and think critically about your own life. I found myself thinking back to my own past, and good friends I've lost along the way to s****de.

This movie made me thankful to be alive, and to have the life I do.

It hits so very hard. The final 20 minutes of this film are paced so beautifully and hauntingly.

A film I will be thinking about for years to come. Inspiring for other indie filmmakers and proof that it CAN be done to a very high caliber.

Bravo to all.

Director Danny Gervirtz and his team of incredibly talented actors and crew, told a story that we can all relate to one way or another, even at its darkest moments. The film dives deep into mental health and allows us as the viewer to feel ways that normally we may push aside, but through humor it sheds a bit of hope that everything is okay. The cinematography is outstanding. You can tell they took time and effort into building compositions that helped push the story along and helped convey desired emotions. Sound design and music were moving but not overbearing. The pacing is excellent. I truly was sucked in to this movie. At no point did I feel like they wasted time. PERFECTION. Excellent film.

Wow! What a powerful movie. Tia's performance...especially that one scene (watch the movie, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about), UNBELIEVABLE. Connor's performance was great. Whoever played Spanky, amazing. Everyone was good. The cinematography, beautiful. The sound design, beautiful. This movie has one of the most heart wrenching scenes I've ever seen. I don't cry a lot from movies, but I look like a waterfall right now. This as a debut film is mind blowing. Deserved all the awards it won and wouldn't have been surprised if it won more. Well done Danny and crew! Can't wait to rewatch it.

Danny Gervirtz masterfully delivered a film that resonates deeply with anyone who has grappled with mental health issues or witnessed their effects firsthand.

The cast performances seemed authentic and vulnerable. Each scene is infused with raw emotion and dark humor, creating a compelling and immersive viewing experience.

The movie shows an unflinching portrayal of the struggles and triumphs of those living with mental illness. The storyline navigates self-discovery, acceptance, and the search for meaning amidst chaos, leaving a lasting impact.

Overall, the storytelling is phenomenal- showcasing the director's vision and talent. It's a film that speaks to the human experience in a profound and unforgettable way, and I truly can't wait for what Danny has in store next!
