PURE O Film Review: A Sublimely Made Hyperrealistic Film Directed & Written by Dillon Tucker

“PURE O is about mental health, and yet so much more. It tackles a litany of universal issues we all face – grief, coming-of-age, loss, addiction, intrapersonal growth, redemption and the power of social connection.,” writes Director Dillon Tucker about his semi-auto biographical memoir.

“I hope the audience walks away feeling closer to others and also themselves OCD thoughts are just normal thoughts that get misinterpreted. There is an opportunity with this film to show the world what OCD really looks like. To show those who suffer that receiving an OCD diagnosis doesn’t mean your life is over. And to show everyone else that we all need the help of other people.” Article and Review by Gregg W. Morris.
