BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Steineded How sad is this?

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

a_sad_cow I know the illness is real and the actors put good effort into portraying that, but for those of us without the illness, it doesn't really help us relate, or help us cope with that illness. There are cinematic cues that something more is coming, yet nothing really happens in the grand cinematic scene. If you're a student studying the illness, this is probably better than whatever you get in class. If you're an average citizen, this movie is a bit of a let-down. Would've been much happier to find this in the documentary/drama section.

matthew-26250 The movie certainly moved more slowly than I would have typically liked, but it somewhat paralleled what I would imagine the family felt, as though that month lasted a year. The acting all around was good. The fact that it was "based on a true story", definitely made this a better movie for me. Fascinating that, even in this day, that something that seemed so simple, medically speaking, was not yet on the standard roadmap that doctors take when presented with that set of symptoms. We have so much more to learn and to discover.

mikeyg-41074 I was extremely surprised by how much I was touched by this movie. I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia back when I was around the same age 20/21 and nobody had any idea of what I was going through with. It might not be so completely debilitating as the disease this movie is based upon but it is still very relatable. Very solid acting performances by everyone, I am surprised this movie didn't get released in theaters.

mhvasani I usually don't comment on movies but this movie seems to have made an impact on lot of lives including doctor's. Her Book has actually helped people who has this disease. Great movie. Great acting.
