SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

igofishing The main character's Tourette's episodes seem way overdone. His illness is distracting and hard to watch. I couldn't watch for more than 10 minutes. How can someone who can't focus be an artist let alone live by himself? Is Tourette's actually a visual perception problem like vertigo. Morrows over acting reminded me of a Talking Heads video. I guy Morrow couldn't tell himself that he is overdoing it. This is the problem with self-directed movies. I thought it was supposed to be a drama not a comedy. Morrow's acting would have played well in a National Lampoon movie. Could have picked a more appropriate title for the movie since it was misleading. Dizzy would have been closer to the truth.

kaplanj-1 As a person with TS my whole life, this movie was quite refreshing to see. The Tic Code was actually a little better overall because it was about a child and the stuff he faces with TS - it hit close to home for me.But this one was a pretty accurate portrayal. I loved the acting and for the first time in my life actually liked Laura Linney. She's a good actress but I usually hate her. Not here.The refreshing part about this movie is that it portrayed the following things:-People with TS can be successful -People with TS have normal human feeling like the rest of humanity -People with TS can have friends and relate to others - the TS is the only thing that's "off" -Being casted out as young child by all who think you're a freak (especially your parents)and not being guided through it is what leads to low self esteem and isolation - not the disorder itself -That not all people with TS are these sweet and nice people that others dump all over - in other words, I thought Lyle Maze was an a-hole - that came with him being an eccentric artist - not really the TSOf course as a TS person I gotta look at the only 2 things they didn't get right.....-They just had to stick in the swearing right? When will there be a movie about TS that doesn't deal with the swearing? It's only 15% of all TS sufferers - I've never had that problem-Doing his tics while he was painting - and while he was in the sexual tension moments with Laura Linney and on his date with her friend.When you're in the moment - your tics pretty much disappear. If that were me on the date, my tics would be barely noticeable because the uneasiness is what overtakes you. During sex - forget it - it's as if TS was never a problem. As I sit here and write - no tics.But alas, I know this nitpicky stuff really isn't the central theme of the movie. The acting and the story were stupendous. Good show!

Raul-5 I just watched this peace of art in my living room on a LCD, and a movie with Laura Linney is always some kind of a wonderful experience. The story is touching, Rob Morrow is superb, Craig Sheffer intense as ever. Humor is here, great performing is here. The relationships are profound, you really get in tune with a deceased painter that wants to live a life out of the blue, that can love just anybody else but is afraid to tell. This is sweet cinema as a maze of passion can be. As I read: can a man and a woman remain just friends? Can two friends remain like so when a woman comes in? If you want your life changed for a 100 minutes go grab it right away.

Linneamcg I watched this movie with a great deal of interest as I have TS, as do both my sons. Rob Morrow gives a chilling performance - I thought he actually had Tourette's Syndrome. The frustration at not being able to do things the way he wants to because of his tics, the cruel comments from "normal people", the social ramifications and lack of self-worth were all portrayed exceptionally. I highly recommend this movie to anyone, but especially to those who know someone with TS. It gives a great deal of insight into the reality of life with TS. If you liked this movie you might want to see "The Tic Code" with Gregory Hines and Polly Draper.
