Parachute is intimate. Not only because it is inspired by, or based on real life experience, but because knowing that opens a window into just how personal this work is to its creator. Brittany Snow often says she wears her heart on her sleeve, I'd say her work behind the camera is clear proof of her openness beyond the rawness of tearful or stripping performances in front of them. Parachute is a work littered with details of her that you can identify from watching her interviews, they're in conversations, mannerisms, (even though it's not meant to be 1:1 representation) Courtney Eaton nailed her part. As did Thomas Mann. The entire production, but also everyone's performances seemed kind, respectful, empathetic. It's not as a sensational as every other movie on the topic, it doesn't get off on disturbing images of the body, it doesn't stray from the reality it tells nor does it embellish its characters in eternal self victimization. People hurt themselves, each other, but it ultimately can get better. A parachute can lessen the fall, but it won't stop it from happening. I hope this film continues to reach the people that need it.
