I see myself in this play as Nick unfortunately.True he suffers from emotional imbalance but in today's age,l labeling with psychiatric disorders is a crime.Talk therapy would work with a better therapist and no need for dangerous meds.I was also prescribed meds and saw the light when I realized issues were not dealt with...I do see common character of a mother being so lost and so not in tune to emotional issues and kudos to you, that is common and classic.If mother would be educated about REAL mental challenges, a better psychoanalytic approach would save the kid.I'm not an activist but if you want to show a movie without caring for a positive or negative position, it's well played. However, when I see Mental Health Awareness comments and a seemingly eye opening intention, I cannot ignore my comment.I'm a former depressive and anxiety sufferer doing better with less meds (going off completely after 23 years, with god's help) so I have a voice.Sorry guys but it's a hell of an intriguing story with bad message.Thanks for listening.

I thought this film as a powerful story of the struggle many people go through with having a family member suffer from Mental Illness. They are people we see every day. I am so happy to see it's success as this subject can never get enough attention. There is still stigma and not enough services and change is needed. The acting was so well done I thought I was watching like a fly on the wall their struggles. Seeing the recovery of this young man was very hopeful as there are enough stories that don't end as well. The reason I believe is again due to stigma and lack of properly funded services. When will we see that Mental Illness are Addiction need to be properly funded and quality professionals need to be appropriately compensated for the hard and often heartbreaking work they do??

This film is an honest, gripping portrayal of what it's like to learn that your child has mental illness. As the parents struggle to come to grips with their family's new reality, they face increasing social ostracism from their friends and neighbors. The soccer game scene seemed to be pulled right from my own life. And the siblings' frustration is completely understandable. Mental illness affects the whole family. Far too many families suffer in shame and silence. Yet "No Letting Go" also offers real hope. With treatment, children can survive and even thrive. I am so grateful for this film--my biggest fear is that the people who need to see it most (those who are not living with this and who continue to blame parents for their children's brain disease) will not see the film.

No Letting Go is an amazing film based on a true story. It follows the struggles of a family dealing with a young son who is struggling with mental illness. It's a film that must be seen. Too often movies about mental illness do not represent the majority of people who have loved ones suffering from any type of mental disorder. "Hollywood" sensationalizes the storyline. No Letting Go gives a voice to the thousands of families who are struggling daily with a loved one with mental illness. The cast is outstanding, the directing and production value are far above what we sometimes associate with indie films. I saw a screening of the film in NYC and can honestly say there was not a dry eye in the theater. It's a dramatic, powerful story but it's also an uplifting one that will hopefully help stop the stigma that surrounds mental illness. Look for this film on TV, Cable VOD etc! You will NOT want to miss it!
