This film isn't bad, although many people commenting have hated it all because of the music. What 80's film didn't? Others commenting that they have no experience with the illness yet think they're able to talk about it. First of all psychiatric drugs like Quetiapine for example issued to myself in 2008 was so horrible that I could barely move. They had to reduce the mg. There is so much stigma attached to mental illness especially the ones like this. Sadly the way people think about it causes them to give films like this negative feedback. The film is sad and scary too that this illness can come to a person suddenly. A girl with so much ahead of her became very sick.
This is a good attempt to show some of the symptoms and family issues which occur when a member develops the illness. A very good movie considering that it was made for television. This film is better than most of the stuff shown on lifetime movie network. Not a great film but one worth watching. Some useful information can be learned from it. I believe the progression of the illness, when it occurred and the effect is had on her family was fairly accurate. It seems as though some critic expect this film to be on the level of " A Beautiful Mind". That just is not realistic. The film was made years ago and for much less money. Yes it is a shame that money has such an effect on film production but it does. I disagree with other reviewers who are too hard on the film. Considering the "Made for TV" budget constraints on actors, script and direction I think the total package is good.
Well, Valerie Harper did a good job with her dramatics. But that is about all the movie had going for it... I rate it a 2. The plot could have been played with and been better, but the producers sometimes don't listen. I really think that the producers of good films are worth more. Sometimes, I wish normal people could be the critic too. But oh well.
A chirpy, happy-go-lucky teenager begins to complain of voices in her head. Before you know where you are, she's descending into schizophrenia. Er, that's it.
Ok this movie was interesting slow at first but then picked up of course I had a hard time even looking away from the screen because of Nancy Mckeon being the main character even crazy she looks cute :o) The movie is about a woman who seems normal then starts to hear voices she has schizophrenia.
