Waking Madison

Everything about this film is simply exquisite. Katherine has done a brilliant job of addressing the delicate and not so talked about topic of mental illness in a way that takes you on a beautiful journey of self discovery. There are a lot of films about mental illness, many try to address the topic...and those just brush the surface. None even compare to this movie. There were so many things that I loved about this film, the storyline, the shots are stunning, the acting is truthful, raw and very real. I haven't seen a film this good in a very long time, it was refreshing to see and visually compelling as well. A definite must see!

i got mixed up at some point in the movie but when i understood i though it was awesome it needs a good brain to create that kind of movie and i just love it when i get lost in a movie and find my way back in that means it really captured my attention...it is different from :Loving Annabelle but thats the point i think...thriller suspenses and horror are my favorite kind so i did enjoy watching this movie. in my opinion there is a sad side about the story of the girl and what she has been trough but its a lesson that we never know what a person is going trough in its personal life so we should always be kind..i hope there will be more movie like this in the future.Katherine Brooks is an awesome filmmaker and director i hope she will create many more movies like this one.

When I first heard about Waking Madison, I was skeptical. I knew it was related to mental illness and what is or isn't considered reality. I expected a really "out there" film, one that I would struggle to understand. What ended up being my reality was quite a surprise. As someone that works in the mental health field with people dealing with trauma, I was captivated by the characters and the story line. What I thought was taking place, ended up being a twist which to me makes a film great. This is the writer and producer's story. It is a story of torment as the young woman searches for help. It is a story of resilience and hope. I believe there are parts that live inside of each of us that can be destructive, but there are parts that can strengthen us as well. I would recommend that anyone that sees Waking Madison watch the entire film to see the outcome that is unexpected. The actors were phenomenal as well as the location and art. As I believe, also, there is beauty in the darkness. Out of the darkness in this story, comes the light of life.

It's a must see movie, i found it to be intense and all the actors where amazing, i bought the movie and have watched it like a thousand times. Katherine Brooks is an amazing writer and director. When i first saw the movie i had to really had to pay attention to understand what this your girl was going though and i do have to say people that have these multipul disorders it has to be hard for them not to live like that. i thought that Sarah Roemer, Elisabth Shue and Erin Kelly were amazing how they kept the roles connected to one another, i'm sure thats not an easy thing to do but having a director like Katherine Brooks to help them out made it a little easier with there roles.

When I first watched the trailer for this movie, I thought I had a somewhat good idea of what the movie is about. But, after watching the whole thing, my expectations and the intensity at which it hit me when up the roof. If you're expectations are high for this movie, take my word for it, it won't go down a bit but it will just go off the charts. Dramatic story, great intensity, didn't expect the ending to be this way, left feeling with too many emotions that make you think about the ending and ask what does that mean. I was frustrated when I couldn't understand what it meant because there was this urge that made me figure it out, no matter what. The storyline,acting, music, cinematography, effects, sets, everything has been used to the fullest. This movie will truly be the greatest of all time, and once again, Katherine Brooks has proved that she is one of the brilliant directors we have in our lifetime.
