Des voix dans la nuit

It is very interesting to learn about this serious illness. People should really take the time to read of this illness. It is like many other illnesses. it is either overlooked and many times it goes untreated until ther is a serious accident that could lead to injury, suicide or many other tragic accidents. Some may look at this illness as the person is "crazy." Not true there are many people that suffer from this illness are brilliant. It is sad to see anyone go through this pain and suffering and still on the other hand can so intelligent. This is a true that we can't have everything and we should be thankful for what we do have. Even if it is just a little. Nancy McKeon played this part to a T.

Remember this from years back,was insightful regarding mental illness. The struggles on acceptance & help still has challenges,even to this day. The music was odd sometimes,but Nancy's acting was powerful. The rest if the casting & cinematography,was also great. A time where movies had impact,worth checking it out.

Obviously, the writer of this screenplay didn't even bother to interview an actual Schizophrenic. Don't be fooled; this film is chock to the brim with now-outdated so-called "information" about this "condition," which is honestly not much worse than the more recent scientific explanations, and no less truthful; but still, this film doesn't even present what you'd learn from a psychology textbook these days, so don't even bother.

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.

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.
