The critics all panned this and now I can see why. Should've read the critic's reviews BEFOREHAND so I wouldn't have wasted my time watching this on prime.

What really irks me is that lots of people live with these diseases, and they tend to do it with a lot more grace than this movie possesses. This film trivializes and makes a mockery of these afflictions. It's simply lazy writing and lack of research. The characters in this are completely defined by their respective challenges. Not one of them seem to have a personality. They just have illness. And that completely rings false. And the person who directed this clearly didn't have the slightest notion of what they were doing. I wonder if Kyra Sedgewick realized what she was signing up for. A shame.

This is another example of where the score shown on IMDb (in this case 7.1) is no indication at all of the merit of a movie. Usually, my own rating is within a hair of the IMDb score; not in this case. This was 96 minutes of Hell for me. I didn't warm to any of the characters at all and I actively disliked most of them. Please, before anyone accuses me of not understanding or of being insensitive to mental illness, I am personally acquainted with it and have a much better understanding than most. This terrible movie made OCD and Tourette's syndrome look almost like fun; I have the impression that we were supposed to laugh every time Vincent went into one of his unconvincing profane rants or when Alex's OCD manifested in some particularly silly way. It probably wasn't the film-makers' intention to belittle the suffering of individuals affected by these conditions. But, all the same, this movie had at least the appearance of a comedy despite the fact that I didn't laugh even once. I had a complete lack of sympathy for the three sufferers and a dreadful desire for this lot of tripe just to end. Thankfully, I didn't pay much for the DVD. It's not one I'll ever watch again, so very poor was the movie. Please don't waste your time on this crap.

This is a truly beautiful and tender film. It Portrays three individuals with quite severe mental illnesses, and shows all of us a path to recovery via compassion and a sense of humor. The script is fantastic, and the acting/directing is sublime.Zoe Kravitz and Dev Patel are artists to be admired, but they outdo themselves in this film.
