| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshNo Letting Go has all the subtlety of an after-school special, and the performances feel like they're from a public service announcement about mental illness. |
| User ReviewCarina RBeautiful film that captures what is it really like to raise a child with a mental illness and how if effects the whole family! Everyone needs to see it! |
| User ReviewquestoverhorsesThis is such a good film for anyone who has or is dealing with mental issues in a family. Actually, I think it is a good film for everyone. Not only does it show the boy's struggle and the parents struggle, but it shows how blind society is towards mental health problems. |
| User ReviewgregorygallenWhat a powerful film that shows the family dynamics when living with a loved one with mental health issues. The heartache they all go through is evident, but so is the hope for what their family can be. I applaud this team for expanding their short film into this feature so that we can get inside the family even more. Wonderful performances by all. A must see for those that know about mental health issues or those that want to peer into the world to understand it better. |
| User ReviewNyna GA very moving story that so accurately captures the challenges that families face when a child suffers from mental health issues. Highly recommended. |
| User ReviewLee MThis well-researched film probably would work best as a pedagogical tool in the classroom. As pure cinema, it eventually devolves into unnecessary melodrama with a subplot involving the mother being faced with a devastating health diagnosis. |
| User ReviewJonas CThis movie is littered with poor acting and it has just an overall depressing feel to it. |
