Running with Scissors

2006-10-272h 2mDrama / Comedy5.8/10TMDB · 265 votes

Young Augusten Burroughs absorbs experiences that could make for a shocking memoir: the son of an alcoholic father and an unstable mother, he's handed off to his mother's therapist, Dr. Finch, and spends his adolescent years as a member of Finch's bizarre extended family.

“Do not disturb them. They already are.”

The world, in frames.

Stills, posters, and artwork in every language.

Your next obsession.

Finding your next story…
