Inspired by the filmmaker's own story, an aspiring screenwriter and musician's life quickly unravels when he is diagnosed with a crippling form of OCD. While struggling through his darkest hour, he must help himself, and those around him, tackle a litany of universal issues: grief, coming-of-age, addiction, redemption and the power of social connection.

Loud and Clear Reviews

In Pure O, Dillion Tucker gives a palpable understanding of the nuances associated with OCD, but falls flat moving the film beyond that.

Rated: 2.5/5

Its reality is far too limited in scope and depicts OCD as an alarmingly easy to deal with disorder.

Killer Movie Reviews

Told with a semi-documentary style that juxtaposes the naturalism of la vie quotidian with the inner conflict at work, its steady, unsentimental eye makes Cooper's breakthrough moments exhilarating and his vulnerability almost too much to bear.

Rated: 4/5

This true story of a man diagnosed with a rare form of OCD may be personally important to the filmmaker, but it certainly isn’t enjoyable to watch.

The film possesses a warm, understanding vibe to it. I found the film to be a sweet experience and a marked change of pace from standard cinematic fare these days.

Rated: 7/10

Thought-provoking film that portrays a difficult subject matter with a rare honesty. So many portrayals of mental health detach it from the everyday mess and inconvenience of real life. This one superbly merged the two IMHO.

An incredibly moving portrayal of the way life happens to you, and how you need help and support to get through it.

I felt the pain through the screen at various moments. This film a very real depiction of the lives and ramifications of dealing with OCD or other mental issues . Not an enjoyable watch, definitely a tough watch emotionally- but a realistic film that will give you a new perspective if you are willing to look for it and learn .

I saw this with my friends. It turned out that two of them had OCD, and one never realized how badly it affected their life. Pure O opened their eyes. I cannot recommend this movie more. It is a game changer.
