Violet

This movie accurately portrays what it's like to live with mental health issues and the battles associated with it. If you are struggling, you are not alone.

The premise is a bit on the nose but the execution is far better than expected and Munn shows she can be a star.

Absolute work of art.

As a person whose mind rarely takes a break, I can relate. Perhaps not as volatile, but pretty ruthless.

Annoying at times, and brilliant at others, Justine Bateman's 'Violet' is a mixed bag that most certainly won't be for everyone. It is, however, unlike any film I've ever seen. Olivia Munn is incredibly real in a role that needs someone who can display a multitude of emotions. We have an internal voice and some words on the screen and that can prove distracting. The central aspect of the film is fear and the human condition. At the core, it's brilliant. Justin Theroux (Voiceover) is the conscious of our titular character. There are also captions that make this more complete, but there are times it's just too much. The film is also fairly predictable. The overarching message is powerful. Rid yourself of toxicity! Intense, but thoughtful and a wonderful debut from Bateman. Final Score: 6.8/10

I love innovation and taking chances. Some projects, like Violet, try really hard to tell a difficult story in a new way, but fail. It's okay to say that. And, it's okay to see movies like this, and appreciate the attempt.

This film brilliantly portrays something that most of us human beings have to deal with daily, that inner critical voice that limits our life, that second guesses our choices and that send us spiraling down in a self critical hole. The voice that in therapy is called the Super Ego or Inner Judge is born out of a wish to protect us in the circumstances that we were born in, but as we grow up, rather than protecting us it limits us. In this film Violet dares to challenge these beliefs and ideas and starts to hear the more true voice within. As a therapist I will recommend all my clients to watch it. The process depicted is one that we all could benefit from exploring...

The VO came across a bit annoying, but in the end it came together alright.

Five stars....so well done. Different, fast moving, insightful, loved it!

An awesome movie that talks about the choices we make every day and our inner voice telling us we aren't good enough. This movie goes through the fears and decisions we have as people when we think about our own choices and teaches us a lesson about self-love. It shows us how you need to be slightly selfish and greedy sometimes and the beauty of it with balance. The half might seem slow and slightly off-put but the last half picks up to be one of the best endings and a fantastically powerful run with amazing performances from our leads. A worth watching film.
