I rated this film 4 because I found it predictable and hard to watch.
Story is about an unattractive, mentally ill man who can't keep a job and, by the way, is involved with a stunningly beautiful and successful woman. Who would have ever thought that would come to an end? And that he would have a hard time dealing with the demise of the relationship...
What I think the film is more about is the day to day life of someone with obsessive compulsive disorder and/or tourette's. Perhaps the reason this film is getting the high ratings that is has is because of the voyeuristic nature of people. Perhaps those who rated it highly found a guilty pleasure in seeing a disorder "unplugged". And perhaps those who have the disorder feel validated by the truthful portraying of the difficulties of this sort.
Either way, unless you are in one or the other camp, I would not recommend it. Though the acting was great and everything about the film was professionally done, I found it hard to watch.
