Neil Berkeley’s slick feature offers considerable entertainment value in mixing ingratiating personalities, stand-up excerpts and serious issues… even if the result ultimately plays more like a high-concept TV special than a “documentary.”

Group Therapy is a testament to the power of humor in healing and a call to recognize and address mental health issues openly.

It would be easy for Group Therapy to be maudlin or exploitative, especially since the group part of the film takes place with an audience, but it stays an honest and vulnerable conversation throughout.

This documentary gathers some of today's biggest comedians for an unflinching conversation about mental health, with the group discussing (in front of a live audience) the struggles they've experienced and how it impacts their comedy careers.
