Words shows clearly the stigma that mental illness has in todays society, despite the vast numbers of people seeking counseling of some form or other. However it trivialises the complexity of paranoia allowing the lead actor to come to grips with his own maladies through strength of will and self realisation. A captivating performance with some meaningful but light hearted theatricals to demonstrare the differing realities at play and the harshness of institutions when dealing with people and risk. The performance would have been much stronger if the feel good Hollywood ending was a lot darker.
