This is the most accurate portrayal of paranoid schizophrenia I've seen in the media. No psychiatric nurse would be able to go on a road trip with a patient, so I like the idea that she was leaving her job. The relationship between them feels real. The distress and confusion Audrey experiences with moments of clarity, moments of insight, moments of profound understanding about life and moments of utter terror were beautifully portrayed.

I don't understand why people didn't like the film. Maybe people refer the glossy Hollywood sanatised version of mental illness. Where mental illness is used to further a plot, with some dramatic reveal of the cause of the illness. That isn't how it is in life and that isn't how it works.

Everything from the staging, costumes and construct creates a story that hooked me in. The loss of a promising life to mental illness and the beautiful line "I keep getting in my own way" is wonderfully expressed.
