"Paint It Black" doesn't offer clear answers to Michael's suicide, because it's wise enough not to go looking for them. The film, a strong directorial debut from Tamblyn, is about living with the results, and it creates a waking nightmare of seemingly unresolvable pain and anguish. The question isn't why Michael killed himself. It's if the survivors will accept that as a simple but difficult fact.

Amber Tamblyns directorial debut is mesmerizing. To say this film is intriguing is an understatement. Right from the start its apparent you're watching something that has the balls to step outside the norm. A really daring and charismatic portrayal of Janet Fitch's Novel. Amber has talent for being able to expose a scene in such a raw and unique way. I had no idea what to expect when I found it on Netflix but I'm glad I took a chance. Two thumbs up.

Faithful to the book, storytelling beautifully renditioned by very pure and relatable performances. Tamblyn is a master.
