moving and accurate

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2015)

If you want a nice clean story line with a clear rising line and climax, an nice neat ending tied in a bow, go some place else.
But if you want a film that accurately depicts what schizophrenia can be like, both for the person experiencing it and for the people trying to deal with the mental illness sufferer, I highly recommend this movie.
Acting is superb but more importantly, it raises important questions: -- should mentally ill people be forced to take meds and live in a lifestyle not of their choosing/ -- what is the responsibility of the friends and family members around them?
Plus it shows how we are attracted to talented people such as Juliard-trained musicians, but repelled when they don't meet our standards for behavior.
