Setting back the fight to end stigma

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2017)

This film and its ludicrous portrayal of Dissociative Identity Disorder sets back the progress we have made in the past years to end the stigmatization of mental illness. I am in no way of the belief that films should never be problematic but if you are going to go somewhere like this, there should be a reason for it. If you want to provoke, please do so but not just for the sake of profit. There was literally no need whatsoever for this film. The "bad guys" with the multiple personalities have all been covered in the 1960s-80s. Why go there now? Why take a backlash and put hundreds of people with this illness at risk for further discrimination?
