Palavras nas Paredes do Banheiro

WHO made this???? I did NOT watch this to cry but guess what, flood of tears. I LOVED the entire cast & that's a rare one for me. I have snot dripping as I write this, I watch MOSTLY horror films, I HATE romantic films but you won me over, THANK YOU for this.

Never mind cinematography. Never mind budget. Never mind acting. My teenage son with mental illness asked me to watch this, so I did. Afterwards I asked him .."is this you?" and he said yes.

So take this review any way you want. According to a 16 yo with mental illness, it is an accurate portrayal of his every day struggle to fit into this world.

I never write ratings and not always trust them, because every person has different views and watches movies in different settings, but goddammit this movie was good. If you had been interested in anything related to mental illness or just appreciate good movies and dont mind a little bit of cheesiness this movie is for you.

My daughter and I went on our first trip back to the movie theater yesterday for this movie. We had seen the trailer online and were waiting for the chance to see it on the big screen. We were not disappointed. I loved the character of Adam, who is trying his hardest to keep his sanity. I can't speak to the portrayal of schizophrenia and whether or not it's accurate, but it sure was sobering. The characters felt real and sympathetic, even though there were some cliches that I saw coming from a mile away. Yes, it ties everything up in a nice neat little bow at the end, but that's Hollywood. There was a ton of wisdom in this movie about accepting yourself, flaws and all, as well as accepting other people in the same way. I have to say that I think Andy Garcia was my favorite, although Charlie Plummer is a very close second. Go see it. You won't be sorry.

The trailer convinced me to watch it but oh my gosh the way they portrayed the illness and the acting of this kid!! Ughh I was bawling my eyes out. I'd seen the mom and the girl from Lost in Space they are great. I didnt know itd get so deep..really opens your eyes to the struggle of people who suffer with these things. But great movie!! Loved it
