raw look at mental illness/**SPOILER ALERT***


I give this movie 2 thumbs up for portraying the roller coaster ride that family members must endure when one of their own struggles with mental illness. The emotions of all involved were acted out beautifully, and the writer was spot on when they portrayed how everyone close to the character with the illness-blamed themselves. The only disappointment I had was toward the end when, even though earlier in the story they agreed there was no way they could afford the resort-like residential care place, they somehow "make it work" and put Baby there to live. Even though the ending had its Hollywood spin, I would recommend this portrayal to anyone considering their options in dealing with a mentally ill family member.
