Oliver is off to a promising start. Let's hope it's enough to get his next go-round a wider theatrical release.

This movingly understated drama benefits from strong performances and incisive characterizations.

Miriam Bale

New York Times

With awkward slow-motion effects, clunky transitions and pregnant zooms that seem conspicuously in the wrong speed or otherwise a little off, Mr. Oliver's film aims for a glossy mainstream aesthetic without the budget or skills to match.

Rob Thomas

Madison Movie

The affecting and low-key drama skips past the usual dramatic scenes of someone who has suffered a psychotic breakdown, instead showing us the quieter but more convincing struggle of someone trying to piece his life back together afterwards.

Rated: 3/4

NYC Movie Guru

Remains character-driven throughout and doesn't have a moment that rings false, pretentious or contrived. Gbenga Akinnagbe gives a genuinely heartfelt performance. If there were any justice, he'd get some awards attention.

Rated: 9.1/10

A smart, engaging and superbly acted indie drama that knows and shows its title can be not just a physical place but a state of settled mind.

Rated: A-

A touching and realistic look at mental illness that is overall uplifting despite its honesty and still remains to bring some hope to those stuffing from the disease and shows one mans triumph and determination despite what can seem to overcome impossible obstacles from within and outside. Brilliantly acted by actors who make you want to care and root for the characters, without being overly mushy. A much more realistic look then the much more popular Silver Lining Platbook. Definitely worth the viewing. Again. The acting was excellent

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Honest film, well directed with convincingly authentic, genuine performances by all leading roles. The deft portrayal of a mental patient's desperate but determined goal of independence and relative normalcy is both powerful and humbling... Easily one of my top ten favorites in recent years.
