An interesting movie about one' s self.

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2006)

It is unfortunate that this movie was a commercial disappointment. In Hollywood, the "formula" for a successful movie seems to be in making three times what is cost to produce that movie. "Donnie Darko" did not do it. This movie is an interesting interpretation about mental health / hygiene.
Whether or not one appreciates the status of one's emotional stability is NOT important. This movie captures the essence for those unfortunate ones suffering these afflictions.
Jake Gyllenahaal definitely gets to the emotional core of his character. And, much praise to Drew Barrymore and all for producing this film.
Whether we like it or not, one has to acknowledge that this is a widely studied, but highly treatable segment in our society.
