The film was alright but it was just like every other film. It tries to show the real side to the illness and how it effects you mentally with no cure, it even shows an elderly man with the illness on a bus that I liked, it seemed like it was starting to show just how damaging it can be. SPOILERS AHEAD then there's the big climax at the prom and then it all dies down.... Standard movie stuff "oh we love you etc" and he then gets into the school he's always wanted, the girl loves him for who he is etc. Happy ending. Now this isn't bad but it's just like every movie. If you wanted to push the idea of mental illness and how people treat it I personally would've ended the film on the scene where he's in the hospital, getting medication alongside other I'll patients after having pushed his headteacher and almost killed himself. Yes this would've made the ending a little darker but it shows that with these types of illnesses there isn't always a happy ending.
