Excellent, one of my new favourite movies.

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2013)

A member of my family suffered with the bi- polar illness, and I was so touched with the story I started unexpectedly crying halfway through the movie, embarrassing as it was. This happened partly because I had experienced something very similar, but for me it did not have the same outcome. The sense of a community pulling together throughout this film really touched me and gave me hope. What better 'silver lining'in a movie can you ask for, and isn't this the best thing a movie could hope to achieve? I couldn't fault any part of it. The only thing it was missing was the full sense of depression and despair that bi polar sufferers experience, put to be honest that would make too uncomfortable viewing for me. fantastic acting from everyone, especially the lead roles. should have received more Oscars.
