Amazing
I have viewed this film twice; once several years ago, and again a few days ago. It is a very touching movie with incredible acting.

This is not an awakening you want your 10+ child to have!
As an adult, I was moved,scared, and left encouraged. Penny Marshall did an excellent job at making a great movie about a often ignored subject, mental illness. I do not agree that children 10+ should be watching this movie though. It doesn't end nicely, and even as an adult, I was often scared by the maturity of the subject matter. This video is best watched with older adults, so they know what kind of stuff has gone on in this area.
