“How long is a life supposed to last?” The film presents us with an intense ideological question right off the bat, indicating this will not be an easy watch. This is not a playful dramedy rather, All My Puny Sorrows approaches suicide and depression with proper (and oftentimes ugly) dramatic heft. Based on the acclaimed novel by Miriam Toews, writer/director Michael McGowan adapts the material with the necessary care deserving of the story’s considerable significance. While this topic has been explored before by filmmakers, something about this story feels gripping and personal in a way that others before it have not. All My Puny Sorrows is so much deeper than just Suicide: The Movie.
