- christinahenry21March 29, 2026I absolutely love this movie, even though I have a different condition, I felt like I was her as I was watching this. I’d highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.
- poorogueJune 7, 2026Chloe's performance in this movie was absolutely stellar. She truly gave such a strong and believable character. Highly recommend.
- Nicholas FlorioDecember 23, 2025This is a great movie. I saw a few stories of children that her article in the NY Post helped. I can't imagine how many more people will benefit from this movie. It kind of freaks you out when you think of how many people died from this in a psyche ward or sitting catatonic in a room somewhere because they were diagnosed with a Psychological disorder. God bless her for telling her amazing, fascinating story.
