Disappointed

Comparing to the Mad Mad World, another movie talking about mental patient, it is, to be frank, quite a boring film. The whole story has just one story line, the love line between a man with psychosis and a girl who is a clinic psychologist student.

The male lead acts well as a man with psychosis. He has illusion and always hear sounds. Our society do need more of this type of movie. But the drama could be more audience friendly if there are multi story lines and richer content.

A truly beautiful story, must watch

A truly beautiful story, very touching. It made me deeply understand the struggle that persons with mental illness have to suffer in their life and love. Their hearts are vulnerable but yet pure and yearns for love. And I totally agree that they deserve love like everybody else. Loneliness can kill but love will heal.

Great cinematography and very good performance from both main characters as well. Highly recommended for everyone. This is my first movie review ever, and Beyond The Dream will be in my most favourites list.

Beautiful

This is a really good movie, starting from the plot as it tackles serious issues, to the direction and great cinematography and ending with beautiful performance of the lead actors especially the ML!

Absolutely blew me away

I am still positively shocked by how good this film is. From the acting up the production to the story, everything is very well done. The story is deeply engrossing, and I feel for the chargers every step of the way. I honestly think this film is a must see for everyone, especially if you know someone who is affected by psychosis.

It'snormal.

We are all more or less schizophrenics, life is schizophrenic. Being a little schizophrenic is normal, it's human. The only problem is that, if you are human, you are not considered as normal these days. Great movie.
