THE YEAR BETWEEN
Dir. Alex Heller, 2023
Inspired by true events, college sophomore Clemence Miller is coming home to the suburbs and a bedroom in her family's basement. After dropping out of school with a newly diagnosed mental illness, she now faces the challenges of bipolar disorder, the responsibilities of adulthood, and her damaged relationships with family and friends. Clemence struggles to figure out what it means to heal without driving everyone around her… well, crazy. As if reckoning with everything and everyone she has taken for granted wasn’t enough, Clemence has to wrestle with the thought that on top of it all, she might also just have a really bad personality.
“HELLER’S FIRST FEATURE… STANDS ON ITS OWN AS AN ACCOMPLISHED PIECE ABOUT HOW INFURIATING IT CAN BE TO BE MENTALLY ILL.”
— ALLIANCE OF WOMEN FILM JOURNALISTS
“The film’s dialogue is naturally, wildly funny, without sugar-coating the issues it embraces.”
—Rogerebert.com
“This drolly self-depreciating portrayal nonetheless achieves a sense of poignancy and depth within a distinctive sensibility you might call Midwestern Sardonic”
— Variety
