up a front to my parents that everything was fine. Internally I was lonely, depressed, and at times considered suicide. I’ve suffered with bipolar disorder since college.
Long story short this movie was a massive trigger for me. Tread lightly on seeing this if you have mental health issues, or at least research it first to know what you’re getting yourself into. This movie kicked my ass pretty hard.
Ditto here. I was anticipating it as I have heard of the broadway musical (haven’t seen it though) and saw the trailer. Even the trailer made me sob… overall, I thought the movie was pretty well done, and Ben Platt really brought out the emotion/struggle. It’s hard to cramp everything into the movie and at times felt like it moved so fast with little to no character development. But nonetheless, I thought the movie was not that bad, not sure why all the hate…
What really did it for me was the songs. I’ve heard them in the car ad nauseum by my daughter’s request but never really understood the lyrics. Hearing them in context really shook me. Especially “Waving Through a Window” which so perfectly and devastatingly captured the essence of my high school experience. An experience I had buried deep and mostly forgotten until seeing this movie dredged up those old forgotten feelings. I haven’t sobbed like I did in my therapists office this week for quite a while.
Well there was an “upside” to my week long funk after seeing this movie. I went hypomanic last week, which was great, but not sustainable. After a medication switch I’m back to normal again. Thanks Dear Evan Hansen!
