...character.The actors resisted Gray’s minimalist aesthetic at times and tried to sensationalize Gray’s emotions, in the process rendering his measured words overly dramatic. In one such moment, Ain Gordon choked up while reading Gray’s journal entries detailing his slip into mental decline. Instead of successfully conveying the subtlety of Gray’s emotion, the effect was laughable.As with any story with such a dark and well-known ending, “Stories Left to Tell” always ran the risk of being overdone, but Gray’s sense...

Depression is still an alienating experience; students who struggle with it often do so alone. Mental health problems continue to slip under the radar, because not all of us are comfortable speaking up about them. Too often, a student must reach a critical breaking point—for example, failing in a class —before others realize that their friend needs help. Help is available at Harvard, but it takes...
