Invisible Child (1999 TV Movie)
8/10
Interesting and sad family crisis

Warning: Spoilers
I actually thought this was a very interesting movie. It delves into some sort of mental crisis on the part of the Mother. It really isn't explained in detail because she didn't lose a child or anything like that but she imagined one she didn't have. I felt it was done quite well. Mental illness can be unpredictable because often it can only affect one part of one's life. Other than imagining another child she seemed to carry on well with every other aspect of her family life. No one understands mental illness and given the bureaucracy these days, I can see why a family might be afraid of their Mother being put in an institution. It played out and when she didn't need that "inivisible child" she let it go. I thought it was acted quite well and it was an unique movie I have watched more than once.
