how is it not clear that this chick has a severe mental illness?


Does anyone else feel that the way these people handled the mental illness was totaly unrealistic? If I were truely her friend, I would have taken her to a hospital towards the beginning of the film...

At the beginning of the film? What would you have driven 5 hours for exactly, at that point in the film? Cause she takes odd showers? Cause she seems out of place?

I don't think her being mentally ill was obvious for those staying with her. She just seemed odd and everything she did could be explained... until a certain point of course.

We've met before, haven't we?

Juno Temple's character had a mental illness? Where was that in the film? There were some strange happenings going on. Eventually she died. It was a supernatural thriller. You'd have to be insane to think she was mentally ill.

It's made pretty clear that she has some medication in her bag that she has stopped taking.

All of them had mental problems

It actually seems like she's suffering severe Jetlag and her sleep cycle is completely out of whack, do she hasn't been able to sleep, which has made her appear to be mentally ill
