2.5/5

At once a remarkable achievement, and a fatally compromised film.

It feels like a journey of self-discovery; Clayman constantly reminds us of how difficult that journey is.

[An] engaging mix of diaristic, interview-based and whimsical elements.

Putting one foot in front of the other and taking each day one day at a time, OC87: The Obsessive Compulsive, Major Depression, Bipolar, Asperger's Movie is one man's journey to "normal" that you don't want to miss.

A work of advocacy, no doubt. But it transcends those parameters, and the condescension such a description connotes, connecting Clayman's struggles to the outside world in smart fashion.

Just because we hope for someone's therapy to succeed doesn't mean that we want to sit in on every session.

Not just a great story, but a well made film, with beautiful and creative photography and emotionally resonant music. A lot of skill went into this, which makes the achievement even more impressive.

Buddy Clayman tries to document his mental disorder and recovery at the behest of his shrink. It's an exercise that is more personal, bordering self-indulgent, with no narrative backbone. Still, some interesting re-inactments, and certainly an honest voice in the world of OCD and Asbergers.

Strong, insightful, courageous. Rough around the edges production-value-wise, but maybe that made it more honest and authentic.
