Review of Donovan

An excellent study of lead character, Donovan Drake's continual struggle with his personal demons due to the stark realities caused by his bi-polar disorder. This no holds barred film is skillfully crafted by writer/director/star, Jason Bee. He guides the audience through a love/hate relationship with Mr. Drake and the affect his disorder has not only on himself, but on those around him and the ultimate consequences it causes in his life. Mr. Bee provides a realistic portrayal of the lead character and surrounds himself with a strong and talented supporting cast. This is a must see film for anyone who has personally been touched by any type of mental illness...either personally or by a friend or family member. As a matter of fact, this movie should be seen by everyone to be educated on the ongoing battles people endure who are affected by this disorder...
