Depression and Friends

About This Movie

Depression and Friends is this quirky little comedy from 2012 that dives into the murky waters of mental health with a rather offbeat approach. It’s got this raw, honest vibe where the characters’ attempts to lift Frank out of his funk only reveal their own struggles. The performances are refreshingly genuine, which adds an interesting layer to the humor—it's not just about laughs but also about the weight of shared burdens. The pacing has an almost meandering quality, reflecting the characters’ own aimlessness. The tone is a blend of dark and light moments, showcasing how life can be absurdly comedic even in the depths of despair. Plus, there’s a charming DIY feel to it that makes it stand apart from slicker productions.
