| Not Stereotypes (by bstew-01243) |
| I think that most every movie which portrays a person with a psychiatric diagnoses recreates stereotypes, as in Slingblade, Halloween, Psycho etc. This one makes an honest attempt to paint an accurate picture. Thanks! |
| Powerful Movie about a Powerful Story! (by eviemarie-19) |
| Who would've thought that there was a time where mental patients didn't have a say in their medical care? Fortunately, for those original 150,000 patients in California, and the many that came after them, Eleanor and Colette did not rest until they found justice! The connection between Eleanor and Colette was beautifully captured by Helena and Hillary. This movie is a must-watch! |
| Excellent Independent Film (by mcsonneborn) |
| This is a beautiful story about a friendship between a lawyer and her mentally ill client. This is also a story about courage and perseverance. The movie provides a lense into the mental health system and into the world of those who are brave enough to stand up to the injustices endured by those who often have no voice. The acting is incredible and authentically represents Ms. Riese and her lawyers. Thank you to the producers who have brought life to this important issue. |
| Its roles like these that win Oscars (by michaeljtrubic) |
| Larger than life characters like this one are what talented actors are on the lookout for.Helena Bonham Carter hit it out of the park with this.One of two excellent films about mental illness at 2017 Tiff.Very moving story and well defined characters. Sadly, based on a story that is unfortunately very much true.We were very fortunate to have the cast and real life personalities at my screening for an extensive Q&A - thanks to all for coming.Particularly hopeful was learning that the central characters are still engaged in improving the quality of life for older people living in retirement <more> |
| A film to tell you some history and help you to realize realities of a barbaric field of non science (by strawberrypen101) |
| Everyone should consider seeing this film to get some historic understanding of the way things were and the kinds of things that happened in the 80's and 90's.one of the worst parts about it is that these things STILL happened long after these kinds of cases made their ways through the courts and Won there! the ways that psychiatry occupies our bodies is Insidious and Disturbingly pervasive, the destruction which they cause is immutable and can never be forgotten, please see the movie and realize that it is only one of many stories, in which human beings were required to suffer such <more> |
| Timely and touching movie, based on a true story (by moinlo) |
| Very timely and touching movie which is based on a true story. Timely release due to current events in the media. Enjoyed Helena and Hilary's portrayals of Eleanor and Colette. Hope movie is shown to a wider audience in the future. |
| Oh hello, helena bonham carter! Says, The Oscars... (by sammybuzz-45443) |
| When I saw this movie, I didn't have an idea as to what to expect. I clicked it because I saw HBC plus, Hillary Swank... I mean come on, those 2? Who wouldn't be interested in a movie that has them as the lead stars... Ok so, Helena gave an award-worthy acting on this movie. She was impeccable! I couldn't say much about hillary because her acting here is just ok, her role didn't really bring out the best of her acting ability. All in all, you should see this film because of the powerful message it wants to convey! I highly recommend this. |
| It's about time for this lady to get an Oscar. (by joaoandrade-45784) |
| As many others, I didn't saw this movie because I was familiar with the story of Eleanor. I saw it because of those two names in the cast: Helena and Hillary. I know it's not the legal drama most of you were expecting, and it doesn't show that much about living inside of a psychiatric hospital. But I think it shows what's more important. First, the cause they were defending is noble and very well explained to the public, causing anger and sympathy at the same time, which is the point. Second, it teaches you that, even on that time, it was very much possible for a normal person <more> |
| This might seem like a digression but TSCC is based on Sarah's experienced in an institution like this. (by kevinwales1955-939-85433) |
| If this film had been seen by fans of the TV series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles first, perhaps they would have understood what the writers were portraying. Our character in TSCC was mistreated in a similar manner, as portrayed in James Cameron's film: Terminator: Judgment Day. In the TSCC series, Sarah has dreams, can't sleep, takes pills to treat various anxieties, and is also scared of dying from cancer, which might be true... or not . It would have been important for fans to have seen 55 Steps for this reason, then perhaps they would not have been so critical of the <more> |
