Why would you assume others are affiliated with the film? I have no affiliation with the movie what-so-ever, and it really diminishes the thoughts of other reviewers to throw that out there.

THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZING! One of the best films i've seen in years. I was floored, stunned and flipped around a million times over.

I was dragged into the movie by my girlfriend. She didn't want to be out in the streets anymore at SXSW. The Alamo Drafthouse was a little gettaway for us. I thought we'd just sit in the back and make out... but from the first frame... i was frozen to my seat.

Unlike the other comments here, I have no connection to suicide whatsoever. I have no connection to any of these film fests or the filmmakers... Actually, I don't really give a shit about the message, as wonderful as it is. I'm writing this because I saw this dumbass review written by Rick Von Dicksuck and thought I'd give my two cents.

I usually don't see "indie" movies. I don't care about quiet little character pieces. i like a movie that drills me and holds me to the floor, never letting me rest until it spits me back out into the street. That's what this movie did to me and my girlfriend. We found ourselves kicking the floor with laughter and then sobbing through our seats... we had to retreat to our friends hotel room to gather ourselves. Every aspect of the film is to my liking. Don't listen to Rick Von Assfist... this movie is pure brilliance.

Immediately upon seeing the film I decided that anyone who couldn't find good in it had no soul. I'm sorry about your soul, Scott.

The movie was BURSTING with human heart. It spoke true in entirety. Have you never been touched by suicide, Scott? I have, as have most everyone close to me, and I was brought to tears by the situations presented in My Suicide. I would love for youth to have access to this film, as suicide was a plague in my youth.

Reaching out to others and stepping outside this new age "me, me, me-ism" may very well prevent many people from taking their lives. Perhaps you missed the entire point of the film; it seemed to me that it was supposed to be a stream of Archie's consciousness. I think that was achieved perfectly. As one who never wants to forget how hard it was to be a kid, I hope this film reaches to the far corners of the earth.

I think I just found my new favorite film critic.

Wow, this is quite a reversal from all of the seemingly positive reviews I've found. Ive been curious about this film for some time now and found your write up interesting to say the least. The part of the review that gives me pause though is when you trivialize suicide and clinical depression; I lost my wife to suicide this year. Regardless of economic background or other external factors, depession is a serious illness and has the power to take lives, young or not.
