A topical and emotionally accessible film that should easily connect with sympathetic viewers, particularly those familiar with the debilitating effects of chronic mental health issues.

Both Platt and Kirke are excellent at avoiding antiquated tropes about mental illness in this realistic story that's written from the heart.

1.5/4

Chalk it up to Broken Diamonds being another one of the well intentioned movies of the world, attempting to shine a light on an important subject that everyday Americans struggle with, but failing to take a more unconventional approach.

Ben Platt's performance is awesome. Same with supporting characters. Pacing of movie great except the house party scene which could have been eliminated. It broke the flow.
