One to definitely watch
Such a powerful movie dealing with the struggles of being bi-Polar. We laughed, we cried, we sympathized. Great story and for those who have lived with or known someone diagnosed with being Bi-Polar, this movie is for you. We left with a whole new understanding of this disorder and it even started up great conversation with my teenage daughter who asked a lot of questions afterwards, who was all very touched by the movie. The soundtrack was off the chain too.
Delivers The Goods
A wonderful character study, and a gripping thriller. DONOVAN takes the time to bring the audience's investment to a slow boil, and keeps it ratcheted up through the final act. Jason Bee's attention to detail is remarkable, with the secondary materials produced for the film and research he's done to make the title character's condition not only believable, but concrete. Sincerely, a well-crafted flick.
Donovan is Riveting and Timely! Unrooting one of our true epidemics in our society.
Delivering a powerful message on "Bipolar Disorder", views are often deemed only from the victim's side. The movie unroots the issue of Bipolar. In our society, we need to be cognizant to address the symptoms, available help which we lack. This is not common "thing" anymore but it's an epidemic! Mental Illness is an epidemic! Jason Bee delivered a power play, took me as an audience to his mind set. Having a better understanding what is on the other side is significant. The movie hits so close to home and my tissue box was empty by the end of the movie. Evan's captured my heart! his acting was so real that my heart stopped each time I watched how he loves his Dad unconditionally. Excellent movie!!!
The best way to shine light on an important issue is through entertainment
This is a powerful thriller that puts the spotlight squarely on the issue of mental health and bipolar disorder. I am a firm believer in the fact that if you just watch this film for the entertainment value, you will walk away with a better understanding of the effects of mental health on family and loved ones.
A riveting drama chronicling one man's struggle with bi-polar disorder!!!
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...
