Perfect demonstration of dissociation through camerawork and sound design and terrific performances. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
I especially loved how the film was not about a mentally ill person facing a catastrophic event, but instead a mentally ill person facing common teenage stressors. This brought the film an authenticity that most films about mental illness seem to lack.
July and Parker were exquisite. Howard's performance was also very good, but she had a lot to chew. An excellent debut, and I'm excited to see more from her.
The climax wasn't the most bone-chilling thing I've seen in the theaters this year, but it was still a fun and intriguing end to a movie. Everything fell into place and ended in the way it should. Very satisfying.
Lastly, I'd like to give some credit to the trailer's creators. I'm a firm believer that there has never really been a good trailer in the history of film, and Madeline's Madeline comes pretty close to disproving that. Going into the theater, I really didn't know what this movie was about. It was so refreshing to be excited for something and still surprised by it when it came out. I hope that whoever made this trailer makes many, many more.
