Curious title, it refers to both real words written on school bathroom walls, and even more the imaginary words he sees when he had bouts with his mental illness.
Based on the cast I figured this would be another mainly generic teenage rom-com. But it is just the opposite. While Adam (Charlie Plummer) starts a relationship with the bright girl in class after he asks her to tutor him, the story is overwhelmingly about Adam, and his family, and ultimately his school coming to grips with his schizophrenia.
Plummer is required to really stretch his acting chops and he does it well. The middle third of the movie is hard to watch at times but fortunately the final third starts to bring some healing.
Good movie, my wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library.
