No, the first rule of God´s Club is you ALWAYS, INCESSANTLY and PREACHINGLY talk about God´s Club.

Suicidality is a psychiatric emergency for which health services are legally obligated to detain you if they believe you're suicidal, depending on the circumstances, and can be liable to malpractice lawsuits if they don't. There are exceptions to this rule, but generally if my patient gave me indications that he was thinking of suicide - going off his meds, changing his core beliefs rapidly and radically, becoming more emotionally unstable - we would be having the 'do you think about dying or killing yourself' conversation immediately or else I'd probably lose my license if I was that psychiatrist/psychologist/whateverthefuckheis. "I feel like dying" is a statement that would cause me first to ask those uncomfortable death-questions and (depending on the answers) recommend inpatient care and try very hard to persuade them to be hospitalized, then document every single minute detail of the conversation. I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist, but even I know that the courts are going to tear that health care guy in the move into little pieces. Fuck this movie.

@Ukiby3000

Legit. When I finally started seeking help for my depression, one of the first things my psychiatrist asked was about suicide ideation, and at the time my thoughts veered to that side a lot and I remember sobbing and saying that yes, that I wanted to die all the goddamn time, and talked about how I even tried to do it once, and she immediately went "Alright, we are putting you on meds like right now because you're in real distress and we'll work from there." I'm grateful for that until today because I feel that saved my frigging life. So yeah, seeinh this type of stuff is so jarring to me, like if my doctor didn't care or "didn't believe in meds" I would be dead by now!!

Hey I’d be depressed too if Alec was my brother and everyone would rather see my other two brothers act than me.

I dealt with my first depressive episode when I was nine years all. I didn't recognize that it was depression or that I was sick, I just knew that things weren't going well, and I wanted to end my life. A fundamentalist said that people who kill themselves go to hell. It made me feel like something was really wrong with me, and caused me to isolate myself more. I suffered in silence for two years, partly because I feared being judged by others if they found out that I was considering suicide. I often wonder how things would have turned out if I had sought help sooner. Never suggest that someone might go to Hell for suicide. It can be incredibly damaging for some.

You might as well call this Movie "GOD'S NOT CLUBBING WITH HIS LAST OUNCE OF COURAGE THAT ASKED IF CHRISTMAS IN AMERICA WAS TOTES REAL YO 2".

My personality stayed intact and I stopped having those thoughts as invasively as I had.

Prozac does help, I had constant panic attacks and suicidal thoughts, and, guess what, when I was a Christian I felt the same if not worse. I constantly lived in fear as I thought that I was just a puppet in one long puppet show, how everything that went wrong was a malicious attempt by God to make my life miserable, and when I became a atheist the constant idea of burning in hell forever was fucking terrifying. I prayed for things to get better and they didn't. And then I started seeing a therapist and taking meds and while I still have severe anxiety, it's better and getting better.

I should become a DVD box designer. Then I can just print the entire movie's synopsis on the front on the cover like what they did with this movie! Star Wars 4: "They rebelled against Darth Vader and the empire and won!" Star Wars 5: "They rebelled against Darth Vader and the empire and lost!" Alien: "They were all brutally slaughtered by a Xenomorph, except one!" The list goes on...

Alien: "They were all brutally slaughtered by a Xenomorph, except one!" Actually, two. The cat also survived.

When are they ever going to make a movie about the persecution of Christians in places like the Middle East and North Korea? Never? Because it doesn't fill their victim complexes? I thought so.

Dutch_Atlantic_13 that's because most of the people make Christian movies like this coming from parts of America where it basically a homogeneous society which limits your worldview greatly. I'm not saying it's the people's fault it's just they found themselves in a situation where it's really easy to be ignorant.

Wow, I think this movie has pissed me off more than all the other propaganda films you've reviewed. I have anxiety and depression, I can't fucking function without my antidepressants. Yeah, if you're a Christian, there' s nothing wrong with praying to help your mental health, but telling a mentally ill person they need to go off their meds because taking meds is un-Christian?? That's so horrible.

Yeah, prayer can be a great tool to vent frustrations and to vocalise your hopes and fears. This only works, however, if you are already religious, otherwise you are only going to think "why am I talking to the wall?". Also, where does this notion come from that medicine is un-Christian? I live in bumfuck Bavaria where every village with more than five houses has its own church (I can see no less than 3 bell-towers from the hill my local church is on) and this simply isn't a thing here. I also have never even seen a single person argue that science or sex-ed classes should be banned. What the shit is going on other there?

"They live in a town with no churches." Well, there's the problem. This movie about a small town in America isn't set in America. Seriously, I don't think there's a single town in America without at least one church.

The first part of this movie could have replaced the beginning of Signs.

"Just makes me worse" I've been on antidepressants for seven months now and I feel much more like a functional, alive human being than I did in December. It's almost like those pills were meant to sort out my brain's inability to produce the right chemicals!

Having movie named "God's Club" and it not being about Odin giving Loki a schooling with a stick is a missed opportunity.

I don't get these movies, why are they always victim complexes with evil cartoon atheists? Why not just make them people and have them see eye to eye in some way. Like idk, maybe forming a club outside of school? The refreshing thing about I'm Not Ashamed as bad as it was it was at least about what being a good christian actually was. Ya know, not judgemental and trying to help out others? Tasteless sure but it at least had some level of tact in how it displayed actually good messages, what it failed at was dialogue and reminding you she was going to die with over the top shooters. That's really sad, it really is.

Sooo, this movie features a clinically depressed kid who is on medication and in therapy to help manage his depression. He seems to be doing reasonably okay with this regimen, I mean, not jumping for joy every second, but at least engaged at school and looking to make new friendships. He then meets a Christian girl who advises him to stop taking the meds and use prayer and bible-reading instead. Aaaaand within a few days of this new treatment plan he becomes literally SUICIDAL, to the point of leaving a suicide note for his father and setting out to kill himself in the next few hours. And this movie is PRO-prayer instead of medication.....? 🤨 What the actual FUCK?!?!? 😖

For anyone curious about Cinema Snob's Bible verse retort: Mark 11:25 - And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. John 7:13 - But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders. His retort makes an amusing amount of sense when put into context.
