The More You Ignore Me

Good story. Great acting, love Ella Hunt. Worth the time

I loved every minute of this movie. It tackled a very difficult topic with grace, compassion and insight. To do all of this whilst being so watchable and entertaining is pure genius. The writing, directing and filming is never short of brilliant and a wonderful rollercoaster ride of comedy, sadness, and romance with touches of intrigue and excitement for good measure. And the acting. What can I say. There wasn't a single weak performance. It is hard to pick anyone out for special praise as the whole ensemble were top notch and deserve a mantlepiece full of gongs.

My one criticism, and my reason for deducting a star, is that the brilliant recreation of the 1980s, which was meticulous to the smallest detail, was shattered when Sheridan Smith's extensive ink work was revealed towards the end. Seriously? Did any woman have that much ink (or even any ink) in the 1980s. Why be so realistic with all the attention to detail of all posters in the background and then have clear shots of tattoos that are clearly post 2000? I'd consider this a major blooper.

But, tattoos to one side, and this still remains a brilliant movie and one that deserves as wide an audience as possible.

If you appreciate movies that are more than car chases and guns then this is worth adding to your must watch list.

As a survivor of the condition the main character experiences I thought it was an excellent portrayal but felt sad that the treatment back in the 70's and 80's was so poor. Thank goodness these days there are much better mood stabilisers and people can live a pretty normal life. I have been able to have a successful career and bring up 2 beautiful daughters who have a very mature understanding of mental health challenges. Relationships can be difficult and one is very vulnerable to making unwise choices but the patience and understanding of the husband and daughter in this film are beautiful and heart warming.All the characters were well casted and their acting, to me , was superb . I laughed and cried and am going to recommend it to everyone ! Well done Jo Brand. Now I want to read the book !

Brilliant British production in every respect. It is in a genre of its own (certainly not a comedy) and a heart warming depiction of mental illness. Doesn't sound interesting or entertaining but give it a chance and you will be delightfully surprised. Out of the ordinary, moving and tearful at times, it is a great story of human emotions, understanding and tenderness. Written by the comedian Jo Brand, the casting and acting are excellent. Enjoy!

This film are nearly brilliant,authentic,almost antique when it comes to props,costumes and settings.but then came the camel through the needle eye,hitting like an upper cut,a gigantic tattoo on an innocent mums shoulder. thats like doing shakespear wearing virtual reality googles in the globe theater. but otherwise it is an allright flick,warm and soft humour,and a good flashback for us over the edge aged.if you like english smalltalk,then this is for you
