WORDS ON BATHROOM WALLS is adapted from the same-titled 2017 YA novel by Julia Walton about Adam Petrazelli ( Charlie Plummer). Charlie Plummer ( Looking for Alaska) and Taylor Russell ( Waves) star. Families will have plenty to discuss after the movie, from mental illness and blended families to class and nontraditional career paths. A few scenes of violence, mostly related to an incident in which a character accidentally spills a beaker of acid onto his friend/lab partner in chemistry class, are upsetting but not graphic. There's some cigarette smoking, too, as well as a lot of prescription medication. Romantic content focuses more on emotion than on physical action, but there's a bit of flirting, dancing, and making out. There's occasional (but not frequent) strong language, including "s-t," "freak," "straitjacket," etc. It sensitively depicts the challenges of living with a mental illness, the fear of stigma and bullying, and the importance of honesty and empathy in relationships. Directed by Thor Freudenthal, the movie should appeal to fans of realistic teen dramas like Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, The Spectacular Now, Five Feet Apart, and Everything, Everything.
