Mental (2012)
Written and directed
by P. J. Hogan this film stars Toni Collette, Rebecca Gibney, Liev
Schreiber, Anthony LaPaglia and Lily Sullivan. After their mother has
a mental break down five girls find that a strange woman has been
brought in to look after them.
This film oozes
Australian at just about every turn and while at times it seems
unsure who the central character is the focus of the film is clearly
mental health. The question here is does it deal with a sensitive
topic well and I think at times you could well argue that the film
does trivialise mental health problems. Mostly the film is well made
and acted but the script is a bit of a mess that holds the film back.
2/5
