I Met a Girl

A watchable exploration of mental illness and its impact on family. While the acting is mostly good, and the cinematic shots are beautiful, it's a fairly predictable story, mostly revolving around a boy and his search for the classic manic pixie dream girl, who may or may not be a result of his mental illness.

'I Met A Girl' is a beautiful, heartfelt and wonderful journey of a man who has fallen in love with this amazing girl. Brenton Thwaites captures Devon's struggles really well and shares excellent chemistry with Lily's "Lucy" character and his brother Nick (Dan Paris). Never was there a dull moment in the movie, as I experienced joy, sadness, hopelessness and triumph as I lived through Devon's journey with him.

I thoroughly enjoyed it!

If you are a sucker for romantic movies, this would be your jam :)

I met a girl is a well directed and produced film with a great cast. The films characters are likable including the main star whos dealing with the struggles of mental illness and trying to separate what's real and what's not. The movie has it's sweet moments and dramatic moments but all in all this movie is great film to watch.

Brenton Thwaites does a incredible job playing his character in this film as a young man with schizophrenia.The film has all kinds of layers of romance,sadness,drama,and sweet heartfelt moments.The film does not shy away from his schizophrenia showing the true way of what it's like to live with a illness like that but at the same time also showing that it can be controlled if taken care of the right way. This film is a film for all people to learn and grow knowing no matter who you are or what your situation is in life that there's always hope.

A tricky endeavor to depict mental illness alongside romance - it's a relief that the reality of the illness, as well as the lead's strife to adapt with it, are prioritized over the romance. None of that "love cures all" BS.
