While some who share his struggles may be happy to see Fisher telling his own story here, very little in the self-portrait rings true.

Aaron Fisher's semi-autobiographical dramedy about a manic depressive film student gracefully maneuvers through a fair share of mood swings.

2/4

A film about mental health issues needs a good script and a first-rate cast to sustain a viewer's interest, and this one has neither.

In the end, Inside the Rain mostly succeeds thanks to its empathetic message for those who struggle with mental health and of course, Rosie Perez.

3/5

Inside the Rain can't help but be a brave piece of filmmaking. But you might not expect it to be as funny as it is. And above all, you may well be caught off-guard by its frequent moments of visual beauty.

3.5/4

I applaud Aaron Fisher's courage, tenacity, and resourcefulness not only to write, direct and star in the film but to put himself 'out there' in hopes of helping himself and others to understand his challenging condition.

The writer-director-actor has bipolar disorder, which makes for a fascinating and heartwarming film. Rosie Perez is awesome as the psychiatrist.

A very moving and authentic movie that deals with mental health in a way that Hollywood movies have not been able to really do.

This was such an engaging movie. It had it all; humor, pathos, drama, good acting and a great storyline. It's definitely worth the watch.

A very unique and quirky romance comedy. I thought it was really well done, especially considering the budget was less than $1 million. And I could watch Ellen Toland for hours. She's a natural beauty and comes across as authentic and endearing. I think she has a bright future after this.

Just watched this last night. I applaud the director for having the courage to make this movie. It is important to end the stigma of those with mental illness. Thank you.
