Poor kid never had a chance. i am disgusted by all the self congratulation from "professionals " as well as the parents (and directors). they spent a lot of time talking about what "worked" and how x thing was "what evan needed". this film shames a dead victim of mental illness by focusing on the effects felt by evan's parents. while the Perry's might think they made this film as a warning about childhood mental illness and the possibility of suicide, the movie centers them and their feelings, placing the blame on a child for not "getting it together". i am disgusted that i watched as much as i did.
