This is a light and wry coming-of-age comedy set in a locked psychiatric facility by Directors Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden (Half Nelson, Sugar). It’s hard for me to find humor in psych wards, but this good-hearted fluff had a few chuckles. Keir Gilchrist and Emma Roberts star as the teens. But the film is more of a showcase for Zach Galifianakis’ restrained and textured performance, less Wild Man and more heartfelt – who knew?
