    I lasted about an hour with this movie then had to turn it off. My day at my boring job had more going on then this waste of film. Avoid this movie.

    This movie arrived and I couldn't remember why I added it. I don't recall ever seeing a trailer, or reading about it somewhere, or hearing good things about it from someone who'd seen it. But, I watched it. Interesting. I get the whole depression, damaged past part. How things like mental illness can run in families, and cause some families to cast aside those who show symptoms of such maladies. And I get how portraying delusions with equally disorienting visuals and whatnot can work. Here, none of it works.
