Critic Reviews
-
David Parkinson, Radio Times
Writer/director Viv Fongenie works hard to assess the impact of schizophrenia on sufferers and those around them, but any claims that this movie is Donnie Darko meets Billy Liar are well wide of the mark.
-
Jennifer Tate, ViewLondon
An enjoyable and emotionally engaging film with a strong narrative, charming performances and an important message about mental illness to communicate.
-
Phil Hoad, Guardian [UK]
A textured and engaging look at a subject that often doesn't want to be looked at.
