The superb, multilayered ‘Out of My Head’ written and directed by Susanna Styron, examines one of the cruelest medical afflictions imaginable: Migraines.
With verve, visual flair, mixed media ranging from historical illustrations, colorful drawings, classic paintings and film clips, ‘Head’ races along as Styron amasses an amazing squadron of medical specialists from, literally, around the world to discuss theories, research, treatments.
Astounding. Enlightening. Terrifying. Hopeful. I was moved by the stories of individual pain and inspired by the common humanity we all share.
