Words on Bathroom Walls

[Opens Aug. 21 in theaters.] Terrific acting dominates this engaging, intense, down-to-earth, coming-of-age, star-dotted (Andy Garcia, AnnaSophia Robb, Beth Grant, Devon Bostick, Drew Scheid, and Lobo Sebastian), 111-minute film based on Julia Walton's novel in which a frustrated, distraught, schizophrenic high school senior (Charlie Plummer), who dreams of being a chef and lives with his caring mother (Molly Parker) and her boyfriend (Walter Goggins), struggles with fitting and dealing with traumatizing hallucinations and psychotic medication side effects, and when he starts classes at a private Catholic academy, he falls for a smart, feisty student (Taylor Russell) who is tutoring him as a way to earn money to help her temporarily laid-up father (Reinaldo Faberlle) and two younger brothers.
