Not for Everyone but very accurate

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2013)

As a person who has been dealing with Bipolar Disorder for almost four years now I found this movie very hard to watch. Not because it was bad but be cause of how accurate and relatable Bradley's character was. With BP you are out of control and in denial and in fact During a manic episode i hit a person i deeply cared about and was hospitalized for it and that was what made the movie hard to watch because for most of it, it was like seeing a reflection. I'm the last person to say all people BP are the same and act like this but most who have it as long as they are stable the can find some way to relate to it, but people who don't understand BP might find this movie a bit of a over reaction and I don't think people understand that what was Pat's driving force, His wife he didn't see that as obsession he saw the need to be with his wife as a way to keep him stable. And all of the arguments that could have seemed nonsensical were logical in his mind. Yes there were some absolutely cliché and predictable moments but I think that is what made the film whole with out them on screen you would see a crazy man doing crazy things for a reason that could have put him in jail. the predictability of the movie gave it stableness and depth.
