9/10

A focused, gripping, intense look into the real life experience of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

A Tale of Delight is difficult to watch because Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is apparently difficult to live with. The sheer intensity of the story-telling leaves you with no where to hide. Blott is as focused as he is relentless in simulating a season in the life of someone affected by this disorder. He effectively utilizes both visual and auditory effects to envelope you in the emotions of the experience . I found myself seeking relief, which served to reinforce the point all the more. This film leaves you feeling like you needed to be unsettled. In the end you are thankful for the discomfort and the empathy you gain for those plagued by PTSD. I rate this film 9 of 10 stars because the screenplay was well written, the acting solid, the direction focused and effective. In short, A Tale of Delight accomplishes what it set out to do.
