Someone Besides You

About This Movie

Someone Besides You is a documentary that’s both intimate and expansive, embarking on a road trip with psychiatrists and their clients. It’s not just about the destinations—Switzerland, Europe, the U.S.—but the conversations and explorations of the human psyche that happen along the way. The pacing has a reflective quality, allowing moments of silence and contemplation to breathe. You get a raw look at the struggles and triumphs of individuals grappling with their mental health, which makes it feel real and unvarnished. There’s a certain ruggedness to the filming style, almost like you’re part of the journey in those mobile homes. It’s an earnest attempt to answer profound questions, and that earnestness is what distinguishes this film.
