BUDDY SOLITAIRE is a heartfelt film about laughter and mental health, not necessarily in that order. The story is about an out-of-work standup comedian named Buddy who teaches a class at a mental institution. He has a tough time with the patients, until he’s able to connect with them about his own troubled history. And through the patients, he’s able to heal himself. It's a wonderful film, full of incredible performances. If you enjoy films like SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK or ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST, you’ll enjoy BUDDY SOLITAIRE.
