LNN Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Watch this interview with DeNiro and Katie Couric and tell me if it doesn't sound like it could be about your family... http://video.katiecouric.com/services/player/bcpid1778770226001?bckey=AQ~~,AAABWfWhrnk~,FtZztaNxIqTVkSb1ju2Ka7JVAY8r79nB&bctid=2142527286001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpotter Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) But, YES, YES, YES! I spent much of the movie leaning over to my DH, and saying: "PANS!", And then..."OMG...that's our family!" After the movie, I heard someone saying that it was a little overdone, and not so believable (oh, if they only knew?)

Lisa3 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I love this quote from the movie: "This is what I believe to be true: You have to do everything you can and if you stay positive you have a shot at a silver lining." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptcgirl Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 That interview was amazing. I haven't heard of the movie but am interested now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 A pediatric neurologist told me last week I should see this movie- Robert De Niro plays a father to a grown child with bi-polar, and IRL, it appears he has a 14 yr. old son with autism.

LNN Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 S- wish there weren't a continent between us so we could ship the kids off to school and go see the matinee together I was thinking of inviting a girlfriend to come see it one day - someone who struggles mightily with depression. Next week marks the one yr anniversary of her attempt at suicide. For those who've seen the movie - is it uplifting or would taking this friend be a bad idea? Winters are obviously her roughest time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomWithOCDSon Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I missed the interview, as well, but the movie has been on my "short list" for a while now, mostly because of all the award buzz. I don't go to the movies to catch films anymore, what with On Demand and a big screen TV at home and significantly less expense and hassle, but a girlfriend of mine actually suggested we should catch this show together, and now I know to definitely take her up on it! Thanks everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicklemama Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I may have to go see this by myself. Can't leave DS with a babysitter right now. Doesn't matter, we don't have any babysitters anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomWithOCDSon Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I may have to go see this by myself. Can't leave DS with a babysitter right now. Doesn't matter, we don't have any babysitters anyway. Wish you were closer! We could leave your DS with my DS (weeks away from 16, in a good place right now, and certainly understands how PANDAs feels!), and then we could go together! So sorry! I know how you feel . . . We went for three years without any babysitters and had to resort to having our "dates" during the school day, while DS was safe and occupied! So I'd play hooky from work for a few hours, and self-employed DH would do te same, and we'd catch a matinee or have lunch at a nice restaurant. Then I'd have to hit the laptop and "telecommute" some work after DS went to bed to make up for the hooky! What we PANDAS parents resort to!

dcmom Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Really touching clip- we are certainly not alone. I don't know if I could see this film in public (too much crying- I can really get going!) But I will be looking for it on demand!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
