i just saw the movie ..and i can deeply relate.. We're often told love is a form of madness.. and its true..BPD are people with third degree burns over 90% of their bodies. Lacking emotional skin, they feel agony at the slightest touch or movement.Having Borderline feels like eternal Hell. Never knowing how they going to feel from one minute to the next. Hurting because they hurt those people who they love.It is hard to be accused of manipulation when really it's a scream for love Believe me its hard to be in love with with a BPD person there are able to instantly drop all their feelings for somebody who meant the world to them moments before..] ..i can relate..i have been there.. They can crush your insides every time with cruel words and behavior .. but you know deep down they love you.. more than anyone else who's ever loved you ..

(Flash Review) Would the art world have Van Gogh's Starry Night or any of his expressionistic works had he been medicated for his bipolar disorder? One story line of the film is does medication limit human's exceptional creativity? The other story line is can or should two people with manic depressive disorder be in a relationship? Do they end up hurting each other more than helping themselves succeed in the world? This film tries to paint a picture of how that may play out. It shows the manic emotions in many positive ways through creativity or exuberant glee and then shows the negative ways through irrational and dangerous behaviors. The male is against medication as he loves his creative manic side while the female feels it is probably the best for their lives. The two central character's parents play a key role in doing their best to help their adult children be safe and healthy. The film had very good and emotional acting supported by pretty good cinematography while the pacing and screenplay could have been improved a little for a tighter final polish.

Carla Lucia (Katie Holmes) is a struggling poet. Her mother Sara suggests going to check out her files at the hospital. Marco (Luke Kirby) is a borderline hoarder. His father George finds him in a mess after he stopped taking his medication. He is picked up by the cops. Carla and Marco end up in the psychiatric hospital together. It's intriguing as a character study of these two with mental issues. It's less appealing as a romance. His troubled nature makes it more difficult. Their instability makes the movie a rambling journey. Katie Holmes provides a good performance. She doesn't have to be the cute spunky girl which allows her to stretch. There is some good work here even if it doesn't all pull together.
