Marnie is filled with wonderful visuals, great music, but what really wins me over is Anna the protagonist. It's probably not really the best movie ever, but I love how we start the movie by seeing Anna's strengths and weaknesses. She is a great tween artist who struggles with terrible depression. I consider myself an artist and though I am happy now, I wasn't always, especially in my early teens. I have never connected with a character like I did her. After watching this movie I struggled to get to bed and was actually depressed the next day. This movie forced the questions on me; Who am I? What should I be doing with my life? Although it may be hard to recommend to people with very different problems, it really spoke to me, and is one of my absolute favorites.
