    awesome

    It's a must see movie, i found it to be intense and all the actors where amazing, i bought the movie and have watched it like a thousand times. Katherine Brooks is an amazing writer and director. When i first saw the movie i had to really had to pay attention to understand what this your girl was going though and i do have to say people that have these multipul disorders it has to be hard for them not to live like that. i thought that Sarah Roemer, Elisabth Shue and Erin Kelly were amazing how they kept the roles connected to one another, i'm sure thats not an easy thing to do but having a director like Katherine Brooks to help them out made it a little easier with there roles.

    Breath-taking psychological thriller

    Waking Madison is one of the most dramatic, emotional and intriguing movie I've seen in the last few years. It is extremely touching movie with some autobiographical moments and truly encouraging one written with great love and maturity. Director Katherine Brooks really outdid herself with this movie. Once again she shows to us how truly commit she is to the movies she makes.This movie has an intense power running through it till the end. The best thing about Waking Madison is, that it's so real and natural based upon the trauma and experience of the author herself. It shows reality as it is. For some of us, seeing or better accepting the reality sometimes is so hard, that we want just to give up instead putting all the pieces together and going on our path life. You can learn a lot from this movie. It is worth every minute to watch it. Well done, Katherine !!!

    No Words That Can Accurately Describe The Movie.

    When I first watched the trailer for this movie, I thought I had a somewhat good idea of what the movie is about. But, after watching the whole thing, my expectations and the intensity at which it hit me when up the roof. If you're expectations are high for this movie, take my word for it, it won't go down a bit but it will just go off the charts. Dramatic story, great intensity, didn't expect the ending to be this way, left feeling with too many emotions that make you think about the ending and ask what does that mean. I was frustrated when I couldn't understand what it meant because there was this urge that made me figure it out, no matter what. The storyline,acting, music, cinematography, effects, sets, everything has been used to the fullest. This movie will truly be the greatest of all time, and once again, Katherine Brooks has proved that she is one of the brilliant directors we have in our lifetime.

    Brilliant drama from director Katherine Brooks

    Waking Madison is a brilliant film, from the acting, to the story, to the cinematography. New Orleans provides the perfect backdrop to tell the story of Madison, a girl who, after a suicide attempt, locks herself in her apartment for 30 days to try and deal with her inner demons.

    This story feels so real and true that you cannot help but to be drawn in and feel connected. Through the movie, you feel hurt and lost and confused right along with Madison. There are many psychological twists and turns and soon you become lost in her world, just like she is.

    This movie is amazingly directed and filmed. There are so many hints and clues and tiny pieces that all come together in the end, you will be left amazed. Definitely one you will want to watch over and over, and you will pick up new things every time you do. This is the kind if movie that makes you think...

    Director Katherine Brooks really outdid herself with Waking Madison. It is a must see movie, if I've ever seen one. <3

    Stunning.

    Everything about this film is simply exquisite. Katherine has done a brilliant job of addressing the delicate and not so talked about topic of mental illness in a way that takes you on a beautiful journey of self discovery. There are a lot of films about mental illness, many try to address the topic...and those just brush the surface. None even compare to this movie. There were so many things that I loved about this film, the storyline, the shots are stunning, the acting is truthful, raw and very real. I haven't seen a film this good in a very long time, it was refreshing to see and visually compelling as well. A definite must see!
