or how it will end.

Edward and Eliza makes you think that at some point a mental illness that is not even good classified is not an impediment in the way of happiness and love or maybe love and music is the best cure for madness. Just gorgeous!! Thank's for this movie and keep up the good work!

asylums... I give it 10 and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

minute of it. the movie theme is strong, characters are well-cooked and beautifully directed. I would have normally given it 7/10, cause I gave 10/10 only to very brilliant movies like "Edge of tomorrow", "Minority report", "Forest Gump", "Brave heart", etc. however, after seeing the rating of this movie in par or lower than some recent craps, I decided to give it 9/10.It is a good movie which makes you feel good about spending 2 hours of your life for watching it.

depression amongst other things its got a slightly ambiguous status as an 'horror' treatment although I've met people who were profoundly angry at being forced to undergo it . Despite this - the film works very well, not least because we never know quite what to expect from Ben Kingsley and the always top notch David Thewlis as the villains of the piece, and to go with the melodrama there's some genuine villainy & tragedy to keep the narrative going not to mention a few twists and turns.I've no idea how this relates to the tale by Edgar Allen Poe, but the director / writers have managed to balance the sense you get when reading a Wilkie Collins novel or other 19th century melodrama with the slightly more critical perspective we have today, although having said that the idea of a therapeutic community - an idea implicit in much of the film - remains quite controversial even today, where drug treatments as a first line of intervention remain the norm rather than the exception. Combined with this is the equally perhaps more controversial idea that sanity is a function of the society we live in - something which is definitely true to some extent - as in the example of hysteria the film addresses - but to what extent is far more controversial? The solution conjured at the end may or may not be if you like a psychotic departure from reality depending on your opinion on the nature of mental illness. Overall then a very nice little film, with a great cast, and good pacing.

Brendan Gleeson, Ben Kingsley and even David Thewlis were all wonderful. It was my first time encountering Jim Sturgess in any film but he did a great job too, I mean, everyone was right at the top of their game.The movie is not fast on its feet and contains little action but it makes up for it all with a well told and engaging story. Plenty of suspense.Overall: I highly recommend it. Maybe not a 'must watch' but after you see it, you'll be glad you didn't miss it. Great ending too.

designs were noteworthy. This movie was an overall fulfilling form of entertainment. I value a well-made movie, so Stonehearst is worth watching.

much more than this but I want to encourage you to watch it if you're in two minds- you won't be disappointed if you're looking for a mysterious plot with loads of interesting twists.
