Don Cheadle (Traffic) is 'simply mesmerizing
(Entertainment Today) in this piercing intimate
and edgy ('sixty Second Preview ) drama about
troubled teens hovering on the edge of sanity.
Featuring an exceptional young cast, including
Joseph Gordon-Levitt ( 3rd Rock From the Sun ) and
Zooey Deschanel (All the Real Girls), Manic is a
remarkable gem of a film (London Film Festival).
At first glance, 17-year-old Lyle Jensen (Gordon-
Levitt) seems eerily quiet and withdrawn. But he
has a problem with anger, and this time his
explosive rage has landed him in the juvenile ward
of a mental institution under the watchful eye of
therapist David Monroe (Cheadle). Can Dr. Monroe
get Lyle and the other kids to open up, confront
their demons and reclaim their lives?
