If you loved Half Nelson, try It's Kind of a Funny Story
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Ryan Fleck, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Half Nelson, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What It's Kind of a Funny Story is
New York City, fall, a hospital admissions desk. A teenage boy among adults, a psychiatric ward, a fresh diagnosis. This comedy finds its footing in unlikely places.
