Simon Pegg is stretching his acting skills here and does a great job. It's a confusing, impact laden fire fight. Which is exactly what a schizophrenic episode is all about. It also does well in showing the love that his friends have. Mental illness like this cannot be objective as everyone's experience is different. Juno Temple does a very muted performance, so does really well as a depressive. You can feel she has so much more life. The drugs oppress that. Adam Driver would possibly have been better suited to the Pegg role but schiz and depression doesn't deal with cliches. It hits everyone. A very good film. Underestimated as it deals with irregular people. It's not a "sandwich" film. Well done to the director. She's nailed the mental illness aspect superbly. It's random remember. It just covers you in a sheet and you have to find that ray of light.
