Hilarious, touching and completely absurd – Welcome to a family where nothing is normal!
Runningwith Scissors is a startling, funny and deeply human account of growing up in an environment you couldn't have imagined. When young Augusten's mother ( Annette Bening ) suffers from mental health issues, she decides to entrust her son to her eccentric psychiatrist, Dr. Finch ( Brian Cox ).
Augusten ends up living in Finch's dilapidated mansion, where rules are made to be broken, a Christmas tree stands in the living room year-round, and the family engages in everything from popping Valium to bizarre experiments. It's a story of survival, finding one's own identity, and how even the craziest of beginnings can grow into a balanced person.
