Every Brilliant Thing

About This Movie

Every Brilliant Thing is a fascinating blend of documentary and performance art that draws you in with its unique approach to heavy themes like depression and suicide. The film captures Jonny Donahoe's one-man show, where you can feel the weight of the subject matter but also this incredible sense of hope and humor. The pacing ebbs and flows, reflecting the ups and downs of both life and mental health. It’s quite distinctive with its audience interactions and practical effects that keep things engaging. The way it navigates through personal struggles while identifying little joys in life is, well, rather moving. It’s not just a film; it’s an experience that connects deeply without ever feeling overly sentimental.
