I found this movie intense.
It's about people trying to find a way in dealing with someone who exhibits very maladaptive behavior and how this person tries to find a way in it himself.
There were cringeworthy scenes that were somewhat "over the top" and also heart touching/warming ones.
All in all, the film came to me across as pure and realistic!
Especially if you are not going to project this story on mental illnesses where the world of psychiatry and psychology deals with.
It's about people dealing with mental problems; i.e. Both the ones acting out of the ordinary and the ones that alas actualy do act "normal".
Fortunately, what this film also shows is that our world has very nice & sweet people.
This film also shows how family, friends, acquaintances and professional helpers - with all good intentions - try to suppress the problems of someone who shows maladaptive behavior, by isolating them or stuffing them with medication or ... both.
Anyway, I think this film is worthwhile and excellent in its genre.
