Gripping. Visceral. Haunting. Real.

These are just some words that come to mind when thinking of Nadine Crocker's 'Continue.' This film will grab you and will NOT let you go. Be prepared to be immersed in the world of Dean, a talented, cool, troubled, complicated and beautiful girl who struggles with mental health and addiction. This film starts out strong and does not let you go. The ability Nadine has to grab the viewer and not let them go is truly remarkable.

Not a movie to miss even if you don't struggle with mental health, I guarantee someone you know does and they should see this film.

For fans of 'Girl Interrupted' and 'Requim For A Dream'

To everyone living with depression, this movie tugs at the strings that hold us together. It makes us realize the impact our actions have on the people who love us and the people who fight for us. Depression is no joke. But there is a way to live with it. Please, please get help if you feel this way. The real fight starts within yourself, and I promise you CAN do it. It won't be easy, but it'll be so worth every second of the fight. Man, this was a hard one to watch, but so worth the watch. Great cast. Great acting. Great story, so unfortunate, so true. The lead actors were superb, the main roles were not easily played but the actors and actressea did SO AMAZING. I'd love to see a follow up, a contu;nued if u may. Living with depression and actually being happy... I loved the movie.

I have to admit, the movie really tested my patience, but the ending was absolutely worth it. I am glad I continued to watch it to the end.

The movie is not just telling a story. The movie itself has a life. And this is the first movie that made me feel this way.

The subject of the movie is controversial and the ratings reflect that. This is not a movie for everyone. It was not made for your entertainment. The movie was made because it had to be made. Like true art.

This is one of those movies where the ending makes you reevaluate everything. Like The Sixth Sense (1999).

When the credits started to roll, tears were streaming down my face.

The film 'Continue' showcases a remarkable cinematic achievement through its thoughtful and impactful exploration of a critical yet harrowing subject matter.

Nadine Crocker's dual role as director and actor is very impressive. This woman can do it ALL. The narrative is both refined and captivating, avoiding gratuitousness and cliches. The film's strength lies in its realistic portrayal of mental health and the journey some of us face, the choices some of us make and the journey life can lead us on. I highly recommend watching 'Continue'.

Notably, Kat Foster also delivers a remarkable performance, and the film boasts exceptional casting, refined cinematography, and a resonant soundtrack.

To say that this is an important film almost begs the question.

Of course the topic is important; it has become so nearly taboo that we must use words such as unalived for fear of being outcast and expelled, our online presence itself eradicated.

What really makes this film important is the brilliant manner in which this issue is depicted. It is personal and direct, modest and humble, almost too timid in a way that illustrates and enhances the expression of self and selves, of love and connection and continuance.

All art is expression, its true value lies not in polemic, but in authenticity.

This film is completely and truly authentic. That is what makes it so devastating.

That is what makes it art.

To the fellow who thinks that artists should stick to one job...that is just nonsense. In the realm of film, just look at the works of Charlie Chaplin, of Orson Welles and Woody Allen...even those of Clint Eastwood amongst others. The dangers of being overwhelmed and not up to the task can be overcome by talent and genius, and by sheer intensity and purity of vision.
