Status Updates From It's Kind of a Funny Story

There's too much granularity. It takes us minute by minute through the whole process, meeting each doctor, filling out forms---just so many details unnecessary to the story. I feel its more a documentary on being admitted to this kind of facility and what it's like to go through these mental struggles, rather than an expressive narrative. It just doesn't feel like it's going anywhere or has anything to say or do.

Reeeeaaaaallly taking its time. I mean I'm 1/3 into the book and only now they MIGHT get to where the movie adaptation STARTS. Also the depiction of mental health is a hugely watered down and less intimate version of The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, and way more on the nose. But we'll see, I guess.
