NO LETTING GO

Cinemavixion Review

Jonathan D. Bucari's 'No Letting Go' offers a poignant and deeply affecting exploration of a family grappling with the profound challenges of a child's mental illness. Anchored by a sensitive portrayal of a young boy's struggle with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, the film meticulously charts the agonizing decisions faced by his parents. The narrative, inspired by the award-winning short 'Illness,' commendably avoids sensationalism, instead focusing on the emotional toll and the complex dynamics within the Spencer family. Cheryl Allison and Richard Burgi deliver performances that are both raw and relatable, capturing the immense pressure and love that drive their characters. While the film delves into difficult subject matter, its underlying message of hope and resilience resonates, making it a powerful testament to the strength of familial bonds in the face of adversity. The 2015 drama serves as a compelling, albeit heart-wrenching, watch.
