I found this story to be quite accurate in its premise. Anyone with mental health issues realizes that while we may see the world in one way, invariably, others will see it differently. I believe that finding our mental health is about establishing balance between these differing worldviews. This film did a particularly strong job of showing how individual instances can be misinterpreted in ways that may make us appear less mentally fit than we actually are. It also did great service to show how that, coupled w/ actual mental health issues, can be compounded together to create a partially fictional narrative.

Cate Blanchett was, as always, terrific in her role. Billy Crudup, who I feel is one of the most vastly underrated actors working today, really did well in his role as the husband to a woman searching for her mental fitness. And, Emma Nelson was tremendous as the loving, concerned daughter who never gave up on her mother. I'm really hoping to see more from her in the near-future.
