Considering "Loving Annabelle" has been one of my favorite films for years, I went in to watching this with HIGH expectations. Amazingly, I wasn't disappointed; in fact, it surpassed my expectations.
I think my favorite thing about the film is that you can tell this every word was written from the heart; you can't help but be drawn in to the story as every word rings true. It's intense, heartbreaking, but beautiful. It shows the very real struggle of anyone who has gone through a mentally hard experience; wanting to give in and escape reality, whilst simultaneously having a fighting spirit which is not willing to let go just yet. And although the story itself is a very dark tale to be told, the message I came away with was a positive one; to not give up on yourself.
As someone who has been through a similar experience, I was amazed at how realistic it was. I think many people will be able to relate to the struggle Madison goes through on some level, and for those who can't- I think it will shed light on a topic which many believe is not a "real" illness. It definitely shows how a mental illness can be just as debilitating as a physical one, if not more so. And I admire Katherine for yet again taking a chance on covering a topic which is (unfortunately) still seen as controversial.
The storyline is full of twists and turns and keeps you immersed until the very last second. The whole cast is incredible, it's well-written, well acted, the cinematography is fantastic.... what's not to love?!
