I saw a movie called Helen today. Ashley Judd played a woman with depression and suicidal ideation. The movie was basically about how her behavior alienated husband #2 and her teenage daughter. It was okay, but very predictable (especially when the clone of Angelina Jolie from Girl, Interrupted made her appearance). It was also one of those cold, dreary, artsy pieces where the surroundings were meant to echo the depression and so on. Apparently depression is contagious, because I was battling it after 2 hours of minimalist gray cinderblock rooms and bleak gray beaches.
