The storyline at the beginning of this page makes reference to an inevitable ending, I don't believe that anything that happens in this film is inevitable. To believe this is to believe that two people with schizophrenia should not act on their love and I don't think that the makers of this film are saying that.

Some films pull on your heart strings. This one rips them out. One of the most endearing and powerful films that stays in obscurity. If you like heavy romantic films with intense soundtracks and don't want to leave your movie-going experience the same - take a roller-coaster ride with this sometimes funny, sometimes hopeful and unrelentingly heartbreaking work of art. From it's comical beginning it's prepares you for something along the lines of Shaun of the Dead or Monty Python, lifts you up with laughter. You become drunk. Stupid drunk. Then the bottom drops.Powerful and flawless

OK, now do not get me wrong here.This IS a quality film: the acting and script are very good.But the story is heavy stuff. If you want deep psychiatric material, or if you are a psychotherapist, or have a loved one who has a psychiatric condition, then this film may be for you. But otherwise it may leave you somewhat 'rattled'.It was not intended to be light and fun. Just be aware of this.

Gritty endearing movie that rings true -- there are so many movies that are fables that tell us that mentally ill people are purer and wiser than the rest of us - like Russian village idiots --- this one tells us that they're real and complex people that ought to be loved but should'nt be left to manage their own treatmeant.
