Melanie (Stefania LaVie Owen) is alone with her troubled mother Dawn (Lili Taylor) a year after the death of her father. Dawn is having problems with the neighbor but it seems to be all in her head. Melanie is pursued by troubled and lovesick Daniel (Ian Nelson).

Daniel is infuriated. Dawn is frustrating. Even Melanie can be distressing. This is a disquieting movie about mental illness. I'll be very clear. I do not like Daniel. There is nothing appealing about him although I get the appeal for some girls. Being relentlessly pursued can be very intoxicating. Melanie is hooked on a different drug. I find this movie compelling although I would like a different ending.

Started off slow but it build up into an incredible movie of everything you can expect when forced to cope with a mentally ill patient. I think both actresses did amazingly well and the mother was so convincing I forgot she was actually acting. I felt almost all kinds of emotions just watching this one, from laughing to anger to frustration to hopelessness to teary. Good one there.

This movie makes us understand delusion disorder, the mental illness can screw people life totally, especially the ones surround them. It's nothing dramatic and kinda sad the choice of the daughter. Mental health is really important.
