Wonderful film that made me feel like a crazy person.
Seriously though how do we know we aren’t insane. How do we know what’s going on around us is actually going on around us and isn’t just something our brain has convinced itself is going on because we are crazy. The human mind is beautiful but really scary. Such a scary, yet interesting subject, I throughly enjoyed this film. There were so many twists and turns, we got a good will hunting type thing at the start and then it had a time skip and turned into a mental health film. The Paul Bettany twist was quite good though I was disappointed because before that moment I thought he was a really good character.
The romance was great, she was amazing and the ending of the film was really emotional.
Mostly just the main character and his schizophrenia was so interesting and I really enjoyed it.
Seriously though what if I live alone and my roommate is just a figment of my imagination. The scariest thing is I’m only like 99% sure rn that I actually do have a roommate. This film has made me afraid of my own head.
8.5/10
