lkrout-tampabay While the incident was a rare and fascinating one, I felt that there could have been a lot more depth to the actual script. The acting was well done, but I felt like I learned little about this disease and it truly a fascinating and terrible one. The bulk of the screen time was devoted to the main character's break with reality and only the last 20 minutes or so was spent from the time she has the biopsy and recovers. Up until the last ten minutes, Susannah was still recovering from surgery.I would have liked to know more about the disease. What causes it? Is it hereditary? How is it related to regular epilepsy. Besides the small bit showing her walking with a can, the Physical therapy process could have been brought in more. Because there were not many peaks and valleys in the storyline it came off pretty flat for me.

courtneymccollum68 I thought this was a great movie! Especially because it is a true story and they have used Susannah's experience to help thousands more people. Inspiring.

mikeyg-41074 I was extremely surprised by how much I was touched by this movie. I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia back when I was around the same age 20/21 and nobody had any idea of what I was going through with. It might not be so completely debilitating as the disease this movie is based upon but it is still very relatable. Very solid acting performances by everyone, I am surprised this movie didn't get released in theaters.

friendyu-35089 In having watched this film, it is difficult for me to understand some of the low ratings I have seen. This film drew me in completely from beginnng to end. Having worked in a psychiatric hospital as a pastoral counselor, the aim is to always look for an avenue, any avenue, that will lead a person back to wellness. For many, unfortunately this avenue is never found. This is a hopeful film reminding professionals especially to not give up and keep searching. Knowing the devestation caused by mental illness, it is very uplifting to know the real life individual, superbly played by Chloë Grace Moretz, found her way out of the woods. This is a must see film.
