.... Is a great movie if you haven't seen it!
I could relate to this movie on so many levels as mental illness runs in my family, and I live with someone who lives with it. It was like watching my home life growing up with my siblings on the screen.
It is a very accurate portrait of what someone with a mental illness goes through on a hourly, day to day basis. If you've seen it, you have a seriously accurate insight of what it's like living with my roommate, who is bi-polar and doesn't medicate. The lack of filter, the random manics episodes, those heat of the moment of lashing out, as they're in the feeling they're having 100%. Multiple conversations in their head trying to escape, and yet we're all supposed to know what is going on, what they're talking about etc. It's like they have to release it, then they can calm down.
We watched this movie together, and laughed. Cos we both knew that Bradley Cooper & Jennifer Lawrence characters were spot on. SPOT ON!
This movie is simple, but wonderfully done. It deserves all the Grammies it's being nominated for.
Do yourself a favour, go see it.
