Deeply felt and certainly proves that [Snow]... has a promisingly deft directorial hand.

The inevitable climax of Parachute not only hits hard but is set up perfectly by all that comes before.

Eaton gives everything she has, delivering several moving monologues and making the script’s darkest moments leave such an emotional scar.

Rated: 3.5/5

Eaton delivers a masterful performance that delicately navigates the balance between her gregarious interactions with friends and her hidden moments of inner strife.

Where Parachute excels and why it ought to be required viewing: it doesnt particularly emphasize a right or wrong way to go about existing within the boundaries of ones mental health, but rather it just restates its core thesis: Nobody's perfect and to be human is to live with yourself. Im simplifying it, I think, but even amidst all our pain, there is still so much love to go around if we let it (read: it takes work and care and commitment to ourselves first and foremost). And its nice to be reminded of that.

Tedious. More producer credits than cast and the end credits last forever. Only watch somewhere that you can walk away.

I resonated with this film as someone who is passionate about mental health, and I know it could have suffered from being too overdramatic. With it’s likeable and realistic characters, I was emotionally attached to them. Although it was difficult at times to see the main character battle through her own mental health issues, Eaton delivered such a powerful performance. I just wish this film could be made available more widely - I’m sure there are many people who can relate to Riley.

"Figuring other people's mysteries, distracts from listening my own head''. My favourite line from the movie.

What a fantastic directorial debut from Brittany Snow. Parachute is a beautiful, emotional, empathetic, and heartfelt film with an incredible performance by Courtney Eaton, who shines in this. I'm sure we will be seeing more of her. Hopefully we get much more of this impressive writing and directing from Brittany Snow.
