You CAN go home again.

This is a lighthearted journey through the mental health of the two main characters. The film does a great job of showcasing how unique each of our mental hurdles are and how anxiety can present itself in a million different ways. Heightened doesn't so much tackle these issues as much as it asks them to dance, takes them by the hand and whispers "we're going to get through this together." All in all I found this much more enthralling than whatever the latest Bryce Dallas Howard dinosaur vehicle Hollywood is churning out. Just a small town, some eclectic characters, and an antagonist that we all have in the back of our head make this a film I plan to return to again when the panic starts to set in.
