Review of Revolution #9

Tim McCann's film is a well crafted portrait of a young man in the early stages of schizophrenia. I was eagerly awaiting the film after enjoying his powerful debut, "Desolation Angels". I had the pleasure of checking the film out in NYC during it's theatrical run and it did not disappoint. McCann develops his characters with confidence and skill while staying away from the expected cliches. I have a friend with a severe mental illness and can say that McCann is right on in his understanding of the subject. And Michael Risley's performance was phenomenal! These guys are going places. All around, a terrific cast in a refreshingly assured film; >
