My Favorite Girlfriend (2022)
Fascinating portrait of a Difficult Mental Disorder
This film tackles the rare and difficult mental disorder, D. I. D.... Dissociative Identity Disorder. For most laymen this would be more commonly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. Not for many years has anyone attempted to tackle this disorder on film. "My Favorite Girlfriend" is a realistic and compassionate view of the many "personas" of the lead female character, and how that impacts a man attracted to one of the personas before he discovers the others. The female lead, Bonnie Piesse, does an outstanding and subtle job of creating at least 5 credible personalities that are quite distinct yet quite believable. Her boyfriend, played by Tyler Johnson, is equally believable in his shock and empathy once he is aware of Molly's many selves. From a therapist's point of view I think this makes for very interesting and credible viewing. I highly recommend it.
