Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!
Instant Favorite.
A Masterpiece!
A Disappointing Continuation
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?
After I saw the film Five directed by Jennifer Aniston, Patty Jenkins and 3 more credits this was my second film which was a compilation of five separate short stories although part 1 , 3 and 5 was related. In each part of these five a psychological disease was depicted meticulously and beautifully hence we could see the pain and suffering that other members of family bear in order to cope with their patients. The storyline was great as I personally believe that having insight to your mental problem is the first step to take in treatment.Some how the movies was inspiring as we saw a schizophrenic young girl(Brittany Snow)not only managed to finish her law lessons but also tried to help people suffering from mental disorders such as a young mother with PTSD of war(Jennifer Hudson). At the end I recommend the movie to those who are interested in or curious about psychology.
I caught this movie on Lifetime recently and started watching it since I work in social services. The vignette on Schizophrenia was hard to swallow and seemed unrealistic. Not to say that a person with Schizophrenia can't recover or have less symptoms, but I think the movie could've shown a better or more realistic image of schizophrenia if they were going to bother to put it in the film. The average onset age of Schizophrenia in women is 25 and Brittney Snow's character discusses being a teenager with Schizophrenia. Despite this, the movie also focuses on depression, PTSD and bipolar disorder in a more realistic manner. Mental illness still has such a negative stigma, it is great to see a movie try to shed some light on what a person with mental illness' life is like. Hopefully those who watch it can feel some empathy for the main characters and their families.
Sensitive 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.
