Running with Scissors

An intriguing, dark, and quirky film based on the personal memoirs of Augusten Burroughs that chronicles his bizarre childhood growing up in the 1970s with his neurotic, bipolar mother (Annette Bening), who had grandiose delusions of being a famous poet, and his alcoholic father (Alec Baldwin) and his eventual move as a gay teenager (Joseph Fiennes) to live with his mom's nutty and highly unconventional psychiatrist (Brian Cox), his mousy wife (Jill Clayburgh), and two odd daughters (Gwyneth Paltrow and Evan Rachel Wood) in their cluttered, trash-filled mansion.
