Face 2 Face (2013)
8/10
Interesting look into a healing journey
30 June 2012
Face2Face is the documentary by Hollywood Director Katherine Brooks. It is a travelogue of a woman who after major Surgery, Literally was isolated from actual contact, while surrounded on the internet with 5000 followers battled bouts of Depressionand eventually attempted Suicide. the survival triggered a desire to re-connect with people..the first 50 who agreed to be filmed were picked, routes made and the Doc was off.

The individuals all have stories of loss. fear, isolation and ultimately redemption. The film shows the Journey taken by so many behind closed doors. The Director discloses her personal tragedies and tries to find the answers to her questions about her values, her art, and her future without xanax.

I enjoyed the journey and felt it gave a real face to mental illness and the need to de-stigmatize the universal need for help. In the negative side we meet only a few of the 50 and i feel poorer for that.

Overall very good Documentary, perfect for a Sunday afternoon.
