Show more >> I Feel Fine. is an ambitious attempt to shine a light on the often-taboo topic of mental health in teenagers. While the film has its heart in the right place, it sometimes feels like it bites off more than it can chew. Ozzy Taylor's character is relatable, and his struggles are depicted with raw honesty, but the pacing can be uneven, leaving some emotional beats feeling rushed. The performances are commendable, especially from the supporting cast, who bring depth to their roles. However, I felt that the film could have benefited from a more nuanced exploration of the supporting characters’ perspectives. The direction by Austin Spicer is commendable, yet at times lacks the finesse needed to balance the film’s heavier moments with lighter ones. Overall, I Feel Fine. is a worthwhile watch, but it may not resonate with everyone. It's a film that raises important questions, but it doesn't quite provide all the answers. Show less
