Words on Bathroom Walls (2020)

Adam is forced to switch schools halfway through his senior year, which is stressful enough on its own, but the school change is due to a psychotic break resulting from schizophrenia. So, he's on an experimental drug treatment, struggling with his mother's (extremely patient) boyfriend, her unexpected pregnancy, fear of failing classes, and a loss of dependable sense of taste, which interferes with his dream of being a chef.

There's a lot to like here. Adam's family is truly there for him, even when it's difficult, but he is still a teenage kid who makes rash decisions for short-term gains. I enjoyed the voices in his head made real -- you could see how they'd be both an irritant and a comfort. And, although I'm not a huge fan of "love conquers all" storylines, at least his love interest has some depth to her.

All in all a decent "teen dealing with shit" story, which might not have worked with a less talented actor than Charlie Plummer.
