    Heartwarming, touching story which touches on some of the real issues these people face daily. Leave it up to Katherine Brooks......to pull a movie such as this off and gracefully at that. Fabulous!!

    Intense, powerful and soul touching movie from Katherine Brooks. I didn’t know what to expect from Waking Madison so with an open mind, I found myself drawn into Madison’s world of coping with childhood trauma, the result of which manifested in Madison having to distinguish between who was the real Madison and who were the many personalities her young mind had accumulated as an unconscious coping mechanism. This was amazingly portrayed by the wonderful acting of Sarah Roehmer, Taryn Manning, Elizabeth Shue and the brilliant direction and insight of Katherine Brooks. A very powerful and soul touching movie.

    Hands Down, one of the best movies to come along! Waking Madison addresses so many issues that needed to be addressed!. It was very refreshing to see a director have the gumption to tackle these. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Rarely does a movie have the audience's attention from beginning to end. Don't miss this movie! I loved it!
