This is not just a film about mental illness, it's a film about life, love and acceptance. It's about how you can not always change the things you want and must accept your loved ones, who are often far from perfect. A real lesson in compassion. The characters are portrayed in such a realistic way. Their riveting performances and the story itself makes you forget that you are watching a screen. This film will leave you thinking long after it's over. A must see!

You are guaranteed to cry in this one, so keep tissues handy. This movie highlights and underlines the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters... but it's not only for women (the men in my fam equally enjoyed it) and that's how you know you're watching something great. There aren't many movies like this one so it is very refreshing. If you're looking for a heartwarming, powerful story you've got to see this.

This is a tremendous story of mental illness that will pull at your heartstrings and leave a lasting impression. IMO: this is one of the year's best dramas. The performances are simply incredible. I went in not knowing what to expect, only seeing that it received 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Now I understand how deserved that is. Most movies today don't leave me captivated for the duration of the movie like this one. I'm not going to ruin the ending but I did especially appreciate how realistic it was, yet hopeful. A breathe of fresh air. I will be watching again.

This movie makes us understand delusion disorder, the mental illness can screw people life totally, especially the ones surround them. It's nothing dramatic and kinda sad the choice of the daughter. Mental health is really important.

Started off slow but it build up into an incredible movie of everything you can expect when forced to cope with a mentally ill patient. I think both actresses did amazingly well and the mother was so convincing I forgot she was actually acting. I felt almost all kinds of emotions just watching this one, from laughing to anger to frustration to hopelessness to teary. Good one there.
