Every Brilliant Thing: on HBO

I absolutely loved this film of a play!

The narrator plays the part of a man whose mother suffered from depression.  At the age of 7, when his mother first attempted suicide, he began making a list of "Every Brilliant Thing" worth living for.  Number #1 was "ice cream." 

That's all I'll say--except to say that it is unique and laugh-out-loud funny in places (in spite of the seemingly morbid topic); it is poignant and touching; audience members are drafted to read lines and play various parts throughout the performance.
