Teias da Alma

This one deserves to be recognized. I can't personally think of another similar story out there and that uniqueness is something special.

This movie shines a light on what it is like to care for somebody with an illness (of any kind) and the repercussions of that, for the victim and their loved ones.

There are some astounding performances by Taylor, Owen, and Nelson, and the rest of the cast feels so right as well for this story. It starts with a fantastic script, which is in part due to the fact that this seems to be a personal and touching story. The direction, writing, and cinematography are very strong and hook you in right from the beginning.

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 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!

Wow Was very pleasantly surprised by this film. It was a heavy subject with just the right amount of levity to be funny yet still retain the gravity of the subject. My wife's mother suffers from mental illness and if you've ever known someone who truly suffers you'll know Lili Taylor's performance is phenomenal and extremely convincingly played. Everything flowed together very well (plot and character development, beat and the killer soundtrack). The real gem here was Stefania's performance, she is a rising star and her chemistry with Lili was off the chart. In summary, a smart, touching and illuminating dramedy; definitely worth a watch.

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.
