    Not what I was expecting, this film has great heart
    This is a pretty clear eyed story on what mental illness does to a family.

    The fall out from any serious illness that befalls a family can reverberate for decades, especially if the sick person is young when the sickness manifests itself.

    There is a lot of blame, helplessness, acting out and sheer heartbreak that is visited on the other family members. Its hell.

    This film encapsulates a lot of that in a short 90 minutes.

    This film wont fix anything, if you have a family member that is suffering with anything terminal or chronic, this film wont help them. But it will make you feel less alone about what the real cost is of having that in your life. This is a meagre palliative, but it is something. The acting is amazing and the film has GREAT HEART.
