Glad it exists. Failed to realise its true potential
14 November 2021
Very glad this film exist. Sad it did not realise its full potential.

The personal journey each character takes to acceptance of a medical condition, and depicting how each individual journey inter-twines with their life. It cleverly shows how not everyone reaches acceptance and is careful not to judge progress towards acceptance.

The script let the film down, silent reflection was a frequent crutch used by the script writers. I can't understand why script writers didn't deepen the charecter development with more dialog.

The film missed a big opportunity to present all of Jeremy personalities, for instance by giving Jeremy an inner monolog for the entire film, it would have helped me connect with his passion for engineering and food and struggle with schizophrenia.

I was very glad the film developed their parents growing response as the changing medical situation.

I was also loved how the movie included the realistic but empathetic dynamic between Scott and Eliot. Eliott is depicted Maturing and making tough choices in response to Jeremy's moods. The inclusion of Scott as the ex boyfriend who appears through the entire movie is an inspired plot twist, that explores the importance of different roles in a community to work together to share the burden of medical condition.
