Reviews:
“”No Letting Go” is obviously a labor of love. While the film is marvelously made, it just doesn’t seem like the most commercial of productions. Instead, it’s a film with a strong message and addresses a problem seldom talked about in movies…childhood mental illness.
When the film begins, Timothy is a 10 year-old who is starting to show some serious signs of anxiety–something you just wouldn’t expect in a kid his age. His parents take him to therapy but it doesn’t really seem to help. Then, the film jumps ahead to age 14. Now Timothy is not only anxious but seriously depressed…and with childhood depression comes a lot of other things, such as anger and unpredictability. The film not only focuses on Timothy but also on his family and how Timothy’s precarious mental state effects them all in different ways. His parents’ marriage is tense and difficult and his brothers obviously are affected as well. So is there any hope? Of course, as this a film about so much more than just a miserable family.
There is so much I love about this movie. The acting is very nice and most of the folks are faces you won’t recognize…which is a plus because this makes them seem like a very real family. The direction by Jonathan Bucari is just amazing and the writing by Bucari and Randy Silverman shows that they know a lot about mental illness and its treatment. Considering I am a trained psychotherapist and have had to deal with mental illness in my own family, I can clearly see that they sure did their research. As a result, they offer a film with many great things to offer…hope for families…awareness of how widespread these problems are…the way it affects friends and neighbors…as well as the ways depression come out in children and teens. All in all, a great message film which not only does a great and beneficial service but is also highly engaging. It also has been taking many awards in the film festival circuit…and justified as the film has so much to offer and is so original. Fortunately, this film will be making its debut in March–so you can see it without the need of going to a film festival!”

Show CommentsIn a perfect world every child and adult who suffers from any disease or mental disability should have such a support system. Sadly our lives are never linear and promised to none of us. So many have nobody, and no resources to send their child to expensive one on one schools. Many are overlooked and fall through the cracks left to figure it out on their own. Usually with drugs and alcohol ! Very sad but uplifting movie!
Not to worry too much Tim i said solid too😮whoops now I know its opaque and casts a shadow. Something new everyday😊
Why didn’t they take him to a doctor for a cat scan???
America parents are wonderful love for their kids ❤😊
What a beautiful movie. All parents should watch this
Love is the answer.
Is sad that money isn't put into helping our future…our children when needed before they're adults.
❤❤❤❤
1:01:45 this was the most powerful moment for me in this film ….sadly ….over a year scince my own Son passed …some moments …this is still me …weeping like a hundred times b4 ,for years …

1:09:40 places like these should not cost 60 000$
Wow this film is very touching. I feel like they did a great job including everyone’s feelings and struggles. By far one of the best I’ve seen on YouTube. Thank you for such a great film. Definitely recommend watching it and to all those who suffer in silence, please seek help. You don’t have to start on meds right away. Talk to a doctor then start with therapy and church, hold on to your faith because it is one of the main key ingredients anyone can benefit from. Don’t give up keep pushing. Don’t go the coward way and leave those you love suffering your absence. You are important to someone or to many. You may not comprehend it but you really are loved and if you go the coward way, you take those you love with you, unfortunately they stay but are gone only to feel all you felt and more. Please seek help.
I feel very much for the neglected siblings. This is a sad film that raises the question: What are families in the United States who are not rich supposed to do? Most families can't afford therapy, private schools, never mind 'six-figure' treatment facilities.
This movie must have been frustrating for parents who don't have the means to explore possible options and medical resources for mental issues. There really aren't effective possibilities for the help needed without lots of money in this country.
When I was little I alway felt something was wrong but never knew what it was.. alway felt strange, it was hard to describe.. but learned when I got older.. that I suffered from anxiety 😢..
Kathy Najimy was great. Great movie.
Almost all of mental illness is possession or inflience from the evil one.
When he was small he got a little angry but sometimes he was happy but when he became big he was angry all the time
Why did the movie end when he went to the microphone
Gotta feel bad for people with bipolar. As a person with mild autism worst of all never knew i can kinda relate. Fun fact; sean schemmel's bipolar too😌.
Was an excellent movie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The acting portrayed in this movie is superb 👌
Jacob in taekwondo 🥋 self defence 32 years TKD ❤❤ kids %160 self control
This movie is for all the people suffering out there. It's a good hard look at real life which can be difficult. But there is always hope!
😢
I read so many comments and every one of them are very touching, but , no one asked: what is making so many people struggle with mental illness.
