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father (Alec Baldwin) and a bipolar mother (Annette Bening), an unpublished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.
