The subject is grim, the delivery buoyant: Mr. Donahoe is an ingratiating host -- at times overly so -- and as the Narrator he maintains a breakneck pace through an hour of reminiscence.

The old critical clich -- "You'll laugh, you'll cry" -- very much applies. But mostly you'll laugh.

Play and performance are spot on, but they are also more than they seem to be.

Rated: 3/4

There's no denying the generosity and depth of empathy found in audiences such as the ones filmed for this remarkable film.

I'm currently learning this play for my drama class. This script is well written and combines a mix of humor with a heart-quenching overall theme. I have a suicidal friend so this piece was particularly moving for me.

An uplifting serious and comedic look at depression through Donahoe's personal experiences. Pretty great little documentary.
