Sick is a nonlinear but very powerful discussion of the multi-generational affects of depression. Difficult to discern at first, by the end the short completely resolves itself. Heartrending and universal, the strong acting and visuals make for a world where the audience is made to understand all that comes from depression and all that it means. Not so much about the story as about the message, it gives the audience a detailed glimpse at this particular ‘sickness.’
