A personal view of a deeply personal movie.

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 1999)

An incredibly well acted film. Jack Nicholson surpasses even his great talents and the supporting cast do more than 'support.' The portrayal of the thin grey line between sanity and mental illness is subtle yet powerful and is highlighted in the well written dialogue. Patient directing and some great post production gives room for the full value of the performances.
Deeply touching and funny, the film creates a bittersweet scenario that we could all learn from.
