I did not think much when I chose this movie and I was nit ready to get so emotional watching it. I had been feeling like a failure and thinking that "the 18 years old me would be ashamed of the current me." This is almost what this movie explores: a character loosing its essence and will in pursuit of things that where once but a sideline in the overall plot of their life.
I cried my eyes out watching this movie and guess what? I have been feeling much better since. In the book "The Body Keeps The Score", the writer suggests that one way we can turn a traumatic memory into a normal one, is to re-narrate it and change the story; the exact thing that traumatic memories do not allow to happen. It seems like "Suddenly 17" and the way it narrates, did the re-narration for me and healed something in me that I could not completely formulize myself.
Bravo to all the hands in on production of this work. Everybit of the massage was perfectly delivered through nusances of colors, motions and sounds and the right metaphores.
