Self Medicated

Self-Medicated is a truly refreshing movie. The most enchanting aspect of the movie is its true-to-life characters and brilliant acting.

The characters are human - just real people, with real failings and real weaknesses, real moments, real heartbreak, real warmth, real everything ... a story that is beautifully told. A sometimes dark yet romantic movie, a family movie even, an intelligent movie about human relationships and the complexities involved.

This is an absolutely wonderful movie that has no false moments, the background score is terrific, the acting is brilliant, especially Diane Venora who is quite extraordinary. There are many funny scenes in the movie, the movie is well-paced and the script well brought out, the dialog is enjoyable. A truly fine movie.

Absolutely recommended for people who are pretty bored of the big budget fake Hollywood scripts, with their phony characters. This movie keeps it real, and close to the heart.
