Review of A Practical Guide to a Spectacular Suicide (2014) by Liz B — 23 Jun 2014
Not without its flaws, but this film gets it right in virtually all the ways that count. It does well to handle the subjects of mental health and suicidality with both humor and seriousness. In particular, I thought the performances of the older character and the psychologist were memorable.
The only minor criticisms I had were that at a few moments, either the script and/or some of the acting felt a bit mannered/theatrical (rather than film-style), but that didn't take away from the admirable, scrappy, labor of love that really does come across.
It's clear that a lot of thought went into this movie.
