Forget what you saw

Warning: Spoilers
Mia Daisy Hoffman (Darcie Lincoln) witnesses a police murder, developed PTSD and then dropped it from her memory. She is being chased by imaginary people and goes to Life Coach Franklin Splitz (Sandy Batchelor) for help. His methods are unorthodox and he seems to have his own issues.

The film is a different type of psychological thriller, falling short of Hitchcock which isn't bad. The main issue is the actors were not as engaging as the imaginary characters.

Guide: F-word. Near shower nudity.

Rating of 6.9???

A woman starts going crazy, watches a guy on youtube give lectures, goes stays with him and things get worse. It's an alright film idea and there's a few scenes that work well but overall it fails to come together in a cohesive manner so rather than being captivated by development you find yourself asking a lot of whats and whys.

Thriller only!!! It should be Drama only, a lot of irrelevant Drama 100%, I skipped through the boring crap, PTSD problem which is a boring storyline, very drawn out slow going, total garbage, its like watching paint dry

Don't understand the high ratings

This wasn't terrible, but parts of it were. The actual storyline was pretty good but the execution was a bit hammy. Fell into stereotypical bad horror movie due to lack of acting

Hot girl goes to remote area for Internet life coach

Warning: Spoilers
Pretty privilege gone wrong is my best assessment. A woman witnesses a policemans murder so she backs out of being a witness, due to extreme PTSD. This is never clear when you actually watch the movie, you would have had to read the description to even know this important part of a ridiculous movie, or make it 30 minutes in to when she says pretty much that.

It starts with our girl in the throes of her panic attacks. She sees villains who aren't there, has an actual cop knock on her door to menacingly intimidate her at home about how she needs to do whats right. She attempts to buy groceries but even that is too much. She doesn't appear to have a job, either. No worries, just get on Youtube & stumble across a random video of a guy selling self help. Apply, click, done. Don't forget a super hot selfie with your online application to random self help bro. Take train to remote, high security location of Youtube bro. Pro tip: don't scream when he breaks out the zip ties for your wrists. No worries, he pops them right off, he's just "unconventional", he knows you won't be calling any cops for help, anyway. You will be totally cured in no time, your imaginary friends told you so.

There was a real chance here to address an actual serious mental health issue, lack of professional compassion, serious points about law enforcement, but it comes off as mockery & falls short in the logic department, something hard to get past in a slow burn story line like this. It wants to be so many things and ends up as a strained, boring story.

Very poignant especially now

I was recommended this by someone. Wasn't too sure but ended up loving the movie. The acting was intense and was very emotive keeping me on the edge of my seat at all times. I think more so given the current situation the world finds itself in and the grappling with mental health makes it even more intriguing. I think people will really enjoy the film as it's one that is very unique and well shot
