This documentary introduces us to about five or six people living with bipolar disorder--and also to a couple others who lost their struggle with bipolar and committed suicide. It sounds terribly sad, right? But you will be utterly enchanted by the interesting, creative, funny people we meet. I found myself laughing more than I teared up.
The filmmakers did a terrific job of highlighting an oft-misunderstood diagnosis. It's an optimistic movie--we see people thriving with bipolar, both with and without medication--but it is also realistic. The risk of suicide among persons with bipolar disorder is all too real, and that's not sugar-coated here.
