On paper at least, teenaged Ozzy (Elijah Passmore) lives a perfectly
happy life, living in the suburbs with his loving parents (Corin Nemec,
Jana Lee Hamblin), being surrounded by his friends pretty much all the
time, and even having an almost-girlfriend in super-cute Mia (Nandi
Summers) - and yet he has suicidal tendencies - tendencies which at first
only his English teacher (Daniel Roebuck) discovers jn Ozzy's writings, but
they do become apparent when he actually tries to drown himself in
the school's swimming pool on prom night. From here on, it of course
becomes apparent that Ozzy has a problem, and he does see a psychiatrist
(Kevin Sorbo), but the prolbem is he doesn't show any of the classic
symptoms and definitely isn't on the depression side of things, he's just
... not doing very well. And given his condition, who knows when he will
try to kill himself again, and how successful he'll be next time ... Now
I won't say that I Feel Fine is free of coming-of-age genre topes
as the film's actually full of them and is really unapologetic about it,
too. But what makes this film is its very serious subject matter and how
it doesn't even try to gloss over things, up to the point of risking a
pretty un-happy ending - and that's exactly what makes this film so
compelling, that it doesn't just follow whatever formula and ultimately
goes for emotional reconciliation but chooses to tell it's story in a very
true, from-the-heart manner instead - making this a pretty cool watch in
the process.
