Hands down the best movie I have watched. As a psychotherapist myself, this wonderful movie has lent me a new perspective on life and mental illness. Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Depression and PTSD (a type of anxiety disorder) have been depicted so perfectly, it doesn't have a precedent in entertainment media. Brittany Snow's acting was flawless. Serene soundtrack and impeccable direction has made the movie even more awesome! It's like the movie is an internship in itself. Need I praise more?
... View MoreI thought the portrayals of the differing mental illnesses in this film to be really accurate. Another reviewer had mentioned that the portrayal of Schizophrenia was a bit inaccurate, and not common and this I would agree with. However, it did show something that does happen even if not often.I would like to personally thank all of the people who had a part in making this film. I suffer from mental illness and am very grateful for this film and anything else that promotes awareness.I would also like to add that if anyone involved in making this film sees this post, I would love to see a second film of the same nature made. Perhaps it could include, GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), PD (Panic Disorder), Agoraphobia, and Dissociative Identity Disorder. I suffer from GAD with PD, and Depression. I would have loved to have seen a character with GAD/PD. Just a thought for another production.Sincerely, Randy Cooper
... View MoreThe movie consists of 5 stories with only the first, third and fifth one being coherent. All of the stories' main characters are mentally ill therefore the stories have the main problem and only that in common. It's definitely an interesting and unique movie as the title suggests but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone because the problem wouldn't be interesting for everybody and I'm a good example for it. It is built up properly and the acting is unobjectionable. Although I can't miss to blame it for the (infrequent, but present) stupidity, as also it contains several other small issues. For some the choice of subject is also reprehensible, the second story for example is downright boring and uninteresting. To be honest I'd only recommend it to you if you have personal links to the topic or if you are really interested in it, otherwise I don't think you'd like it.
... View MoreSensitive and very well done. All of the brain disorders were clearly defined. Bi Polar, schizophrenia, depression, PTSD, and how these families cope and are emotionally affected. This series of movies gives the patients and families hope. I wish they would also deal with Borderline Personality albeit extremely difficult to diagnose. It is obvious by the quality of the actors that these are issues that we all can hope to deal with effectively.Congrats for shedding light on such sensitive issues.
