If you or a loved one has ever suffered from depression I believe you will be able to identify with Amanda Seyfried. She does an amazing job portraying the helplessness that someone who is depressed may feel. Some say it was postpartum depression but it seems to me she suffered from it early in life. It never really answers the question as to why or how the depression develops which I believe is a good way to portray it because I do not believe it’s just one thing. I also don’t believe we know enough about depression. You can think to yourself that she really shouldn’t have it based on what you see of her life experiences. That is exactly what makes it a great movie to watch because there are so many unanswered questions about depression. I would highly recommend watching it with an open mind and open heart! Amanda Seyfried’s performance was excellent and draws you in.
