This film has a worthy goal: to change the perspectives of people who might be hurting right now. For those willing to go with its flow, it has a real power.

Instead of a stagy one-sided interview, we’re treated to an honest conversation about mental health and human flaws between two men who share a touchingly warm bond.

Hill’s nods to filmmaking tricks add to the sense we’re sharing in something authentic: a portrait of affection.

This film is not an extended therapy session: it’s a Buberian dialogue between two fully realised humans. Because one treated the other through his "dark night of the soul", it’s also a formal representation of the life-saving powers of talk therapy.
