This might be the best 2021 movie I've seen. I saw other reviews talking about rear window/disturbia similarities, and I feel like something special was missed. This is such a touching movie regarding mental illness; I really felt for the protagonist. It's the rear window / disturbia stuff that feels tacked on. This movie isn't really about that. I found myself almost bursting into tears multiple times during this one, because of how powerful the performance of our protagonist was as she goes through her daily life of confusion and suffering that no normal person can come anywhere close to understanding.
The twist is awesome in this one!
The special effects used to express psychosis and schizophrenia are terrifying and powerful. Seeing this was a weird experience for me - it's sitting at a 5.9 now, so I'm sitting on my couch all geared up for a 5.9 calibre movie. And instead I get a 7.5 calibre movie, but maybe a bit less because the hollywood ending wasn't nearly as impactful as all the events preceding it.
I'm going to be thinking about this one for a bit. What a gem. Reminded me a bit of the movie "Still Alice," even though the actual events that unfold are drastically different. Both of those movies just hit me in the same emotional spot.
