An important movie, and an original movie whose originality is not its reason for being. That is, “It’s Kind of a Funny Story” has emotional chops. Musical chops as well, but that’s another review.Yes, the shadow of a memory of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” came to me while watching, but I have to say this echo did not lessen “Kind of a Funny Story” by comparison. It’s not an angry movie. It’s not a star vehicle. It’s not a plot-fest. It is not ego-driven. It is not desperate for laughs, though I laughed hard on several occasions. In fact I’ll see it again to remember those lines.
This movie gives you time with interesting people. Defenseless and ordinary, and beautiful people. Teens need to feel, we all need to feel compassion for ourselves and everyone around us pushed to depression. “Funny Story” while not grimly realistic is realistic in heart.
Zach Galifianakis has transcendent scenes. Keir Gilchrist is just lost enough. Much to admire in the film-making. This one should not sink under the radar.
Let’s have some fun with this….
A depressed teen admits himself into a psych ward & meets some colorful folks.Complex issues switched up and told in a free-spirited way. There’s nothing sugar-coated about these characters, which is probably why I like them so much. Pluses for having them relate to our current society; these characters could be someone on your own street.
With a narrative & creative style similar to 500 Days of Summer, this is an oddly inspirational tale.
Comic relief provided by the excellent Zack Galifianakis.
Great music, great film!
