Lonely Boy

It took the first half of this movie to find it's voice, but the second half speaks with perfect clarity and truth. This movie sheds a softer light on mental illness than I've seen befor. It gives those on the inside looking out a sympathetic pat on the back while saying "Yeah, I know..." , and for the rest, a peek inside the closet we hide everything in. The thing I loved most is that it lays out beautifully just how much those people who we can open up to mean to us.

I just want to know what happens next. It has an interesting twist, and possibly a happy ending, but I am curious, did he start taking his meds and undergoing treatment, and if so, how did that look? I appreciated seeing how schizophrenia can impact someone on a day-to-day basis, but it makes me even more intrigued about long term recovery. Also. I thought the neighbor was hysterical.
