Running With Scissors is the
hilarious and poignant feature film based on the personal
memoirs of Augusten Burroughs. Growing up in the 1970’s, young
Augusten (Joseph Cross) was living a middle-class existence with
an alcoholic father (Alec Baldwin) and a bipolar mother (Annette
Bening), an unpublished poet with delusions of becoming famous.
When his parents divorce, Augusten’s mother sends him
to live with her wildly unorthodox psychiatrist, Dr. Finch
(Brian Cox) and his eccentric extended family.
Running With Scissors chronicles Augusten’s
survival under the most extraordinary of circumstances.
Written for the screen and directed
by Ryan Murphy, the film stars Annette Bening, Brian Cox, Joseph
Fiennes, Evan Rachel Wood, Alec Baldwin, Jill Clayburgh and
Joseph Cross.
