About This Movie

So, 'My Friend Anxiety' is a quirky blend of comedy and drama that really captures the essence of living with anxiety in a unique way.

It’s a blend of whimsical and intense, layering humor over the heaviness of his internal struggles. The pacing can feel a bit erratic at times, but it mirrors the chaotic nature of anxiety itself. The performances are pretty solid; you can really feel Cole’s ups and downs.
