Great acting, believable portrayal of dysfunctional family with varying degrees of mental health issues, rescuers & villains. Thought the cinematography was well so done, colors were faded & cloudy when she was medicated, sights & sounds were harsher when she was more symptomatic. One reviewer gave praise that the strong cast " keeps the comedy buoyant throughout." Comedy?! Buoyant?! 2 words that do not come near my mind when describing this movie. Tragedy, betrayal & pitting family members against each other, not funny or buoyant, everyone is depressed, psychotic &/ or has a personality disorder & is terrible, manipulative, cruel to her. Also the story line wove this thread of purpose throughout, that she was failing because she didn't know her purpose, obviously not the case & was more complicated, but her mother said on her deathbed do you know your purpose? ( have you figured it out yet?) end scene, 20 minutes of the movie left & it's never mentioned again... sloppy script writing.
