Living with Bi-Polar condition
15 October 2020
As a survivor of the condition the main character experiences I thought it was an excellent portrayal but felt sad that the treatment back in the 70's and 80's was so poor. Thank goodness these days there are much better mood stabilisers and people can live a pretty normal life. I have been able to have a successful career and bring up 2 beautiful daughters who have a very mature understanding of mental health challenges. Relationships can be difficult and one is very vulnerable to making unwise choices but the patience and understanding of the husband and daughter in this film are beautiful and heart warming.All the characters were well casted and their acting, to me , was superb . I laughed and cried and am going to recommend it to everyone ! Well done Jo Brand. Now I want to read the book !
