i just recently attended a screening of this film in New York and was privaliged to have a q and a with the director afterwards. i felt this film was quite realistic in its portrayal of a schizophrenic man whose only support comes from his girlfriend. although i have not seen "A Beautiful Mind" i have been informed that it glamourizes schizophrenia, and this film does the complete opposite. it places the viewer in a very reaslistic, cinematically engaging environment where the drama is not played up to peak the interest of the audience. instead, Mccann has made every attempt to make this film as chillingly real as possible. Mccann has an interesting style with this film and uses lots of close-ups, which work as they bring the audience uncomfortably close to the characters, as well as the situation. the only downfall to this is that because it is used so much throughout the film, its effect wears off after you settle into the story. all in all , i was pleasantly surprised.
