Mental as Everything

About This Movie

So, 'Mental as Everything' is this interesting dive into the life of Damon Smith, who’s really laid bare his struggles with OCD and Bipolar Disorder. The film's got this almost raw, unfiltered vibe—like you're sitting in a room with him and his friend Adam Coad, who adds a nice layer of anxious humor to the mix. You know, it’s not overly polished, which feels appropriate given the subject matter. The pacing is pretty relaxed but allows the deeper themes of mental health to simmer without feeling rushed. There’s a distinct atmosphere to it, blending comedy and documentary styles, making it feel both personal and engaging. It’s this odd balance of humor amidst the heaviness, and that’s what really sets it apart.
