Sciorra plays a woman who displays 'quirks' that may or may not be linked to depression and a host of other illnesses, navigating her senseless life.
Sciorra drives this film intelligently and accurately and I suspect every person will see part f themselves portrayed.
From the aimless shuffling everywhere she goes, to the display of frustration to everyday things, to the despair that brings her almost to the brink of suicide. An act she clearly is not totally invested in.
Her father displays his own problems but perhaps more nuanced as he has found his own ways to deal with them. Ultimately he tries also to find ways to help her too.
It's an exacting and brilliantly written and portrayed example of people who are victim to their own brains and feelings. And yet, it shows their is a way out. I recommend this film to anyone who has, and also those who have never experienced mental illness.
