This movie resonates with me. As a parent, I know what it's like to watch the so called medical experts come to incomplete conclusions to proclaim misdiagnoses without considering ALL the facts.
As someone who has illnesses that have escaped the medical profession, I appreciate the subtle message this movie conveys that our health care system is severely broken. My hope is that more people persist and continue to push for greater competence and accountability so people like this can receive the treatment they deserve.
I was super into this movie start to finish . Very interesting , extremely sad , you can feel the frustration from every party involved and incredible that it is a true story .
It is very difficult to watch. Cases like this are all too real, I should know as I have lived it.
I don't understand why the critics gave this movie such low ratings. Everyone was acting very good, Speccialy the head character.
Whilst watching this movie all I could think was OMG this is based on a true stormy. How frightening for all.
Very solid story but perhaps the original intention of the film was to make the public aware of this rare disease, so the script is quite flat and straightforward, and there was nothing particularly exciting plot and presented a documentary like way. Chloë acts convincing that touches most of us.
After seeing the film, which, by the way, pleasantly impressed me, I started to document myself about the disease that the protagonist of the film suffered from and I honestly came to appreciate the film even more.And hats off to Chloë Grace Moretz, she really did a great job as Susannah Cahalan!
