I Met a Girl

I only watched this coz I saw Brendon Thwaits (Devon) was in it. I was pleasantly surprised. The actors were superb, the script was heartfelt and the scenery was inspired. I also really appreciated a lead with a mental illness. Worth the watch!

I was looking for a good romance to watch when I stumbled across this movie. Being American I wasn't familiar with any of the actors. I came to IMBD to learn more about them. I have an uncle that is schizophrenic and it's not easy dealing with it as a family member. Brilliant performance by all. I highly recommend this movie.

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.

'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 :)

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.
