Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
randycooper I thought the portrayals of the differing mental illnesses in this film to be really accurate. Another reviewer had mentioned that the portrayal of Schizophrenia was a bit inaccurate, and not common and this I would agree with. However, it did show something that does happen even if not often.I would like to personally thank all of the people who had a part in making this film. I suffer from mental illness and am very grateful for this film and anything else that promotes awareness.I would also like to add that if anyone involved in making this film sees this post, I would love to see a second film of the same nature made. Perhaps it could include, GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), PD (Panic Disorder), Agoraphobia, and Dissociative Identity Disorder. I suffer from GAD with PD, and Depression. I would have loved to have seen a character with GAD/PD. Just a thought for another production.Sincerely, Randy Cooper
juggermat After I saw the film Five directed by Jennifer Aniston, Patty Jenkins and 3 more credits this was my second film which was a compilation of five separate short stories although part 1 , 3 and 5 was related. In each part of these five a psychological disease was depicted meticulously and beautifully hence we could see the pain and suffering that other members of family bear in order to cope with their patients. The storyline was great as I personally believe that having insight to your mental problem is the first step to take in treatment.Some how the movies was inspiring as we saw a schizophrenic young girl(Brittany Snow)not only managed to finish her law lessons but also tried to help people suffering from mental disorders such as a young mother with PTSD of war(Jennifer Hudson). At the end I recommend the movie to those who are interested in or curious about psychology.
Balazs Horvath The movie consists of 5 stories with only the first, third and fifth one being coherent. All of the stories' main characters are mentally ill therefore the stories have the main problem and only that in common. It's definitely an interesting and unique movie as the title suggests but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone because the problem wouldn't be interesting for everybody and I'm a good example for it. It is built up properly and the acting is unobjectionable. Although I can't miss to blame it for the (infrequent, but present) stupidity, as also it contains several other small issues. For some the choice of subject is also reprehensible, the second story for example is downright boring and uninteresting. To be honest I'd only recommend it to you if you have personal links to the topic or if you are really interested in it, otherwise I don't think you'd like it.
piperkaren This is the first time I have seen a film realistically depict what a mentally ill person's life is like and how it effects others through the interactions of normal daily living. I place primary significance on this in that it is of great value in promoting awareness of mental illness in society today. As with much that has social stigma attached, learning about the basics eases the path to enlightenment. Mental illnesses touch all of our lives in some way and so much burden can be eased by replacing bias with understanding. I applaud this film for keeping it simple enough that you may from time to time question what is crazy.
