For me this gentle film offered a tender exploration of the stigmas surrounding mental health alongside the strength of family bonds. The moments of humour, whilst providing a lightness to the emotional depth, sometimes felt a little clumsy and formulaic, but did not detract from what was a poignant, thoughtful portrayal that will stay with me.

Excellent. Very insightful about mental illness & stereotypical relationships & responses to mental illness.

One of the best films you have shown. All the characters were 3D and believable and you really felt for them.

Great film.

Lovely film, touching, nuanced - such an empathetic portrait of mental illness.

A beautiful film, showing how even though people are different we are all the same.
5
It really opened my eyes about this illness. The difficulties with wanting your loved one to participate & enjoy life and the difficulties with it.
5
Beautiful. Spell binding, mesmerising, superbly acted, thought provoking, poignant, funny & sad all at the same time. Superb.

A totally wonderful film. A lovely touching look at mental illness. Loved the humour. Sofie Gråbøl was fantastic.

I loved it. Moving, sad, funny, thoughtful - provoking. I laughed and cried and everything else in between. Great acting too.

Very interesting story. Love in a different form. Another film I wouldn't have seen if not for the society! Thank you.
5
Heartwarming - a beautiful story treating mental illness with realism and humour.
5
Excellent portrayal of what happens beyond closed doors sometimes. Great acting by all. Some cannot cope with M.I. whereas others see beneath the problem and accept with / by showing love & concern.
5
Emotional, thoughtful. Perhaps we should all become a bit schizophrenic to make the world a better place.
5
Excellent. One of the best films I've seen in a long time. Wonderful mixture of drama, love, humour & friendship. At the opening I didn't think I would like it, but it very quickly won me over. First time I really wanted to write something.
5
An extraordinary film, very lovely story. In its simplicity the story and acting were compelling and full of humour, whilst depicting the complexities of life. I truly enjoyed the whole evening.
5
That's got to be the best film I've seen for years. Sofie Gråbøl was outstanding, flanked by an amazing cast. Also a true portrayal of schizophrenia. I think I smiled most of the way through.
5
Loved this film. It did indeed make me laugh, and cry and most of all, provided much to think about. Brilliant acting. Another entertaining film Thank you

Unexpectedly funny in places, and often moving. Sofie Grabol was as deft and subtle as I’d hoped, and I was particularly impressed with the costumes: realistic 90s, not modern nostalgia 90s.

Touching film with gentle energy and charm

Very interesting insight into schizophrenia & people's reaction to it. She was funny and intelligent. I really liked the havoc she caused but she was certainly not the only one!
