    Wow

    Ok this movie was interesting slow at first but then picked up of course I had a hard time even looking away from the screen because of Nancy Mckeon being the main character even crazy she looks cute :o) The movie is about a woman who seems normal then starts to hear voices she has schizophrenia.

    This Type Of Thing Is Not Worth Watching

    Well, Valerie Harper did a good job with her dramatics. But that is about all the movie had going for it... I rate it a 2. The plot could have been played with and been better, but the producers sometimes don't listen. I really think that the producers of good films are worth more. Sometimes, I wish normal people could be the critic too. But oh well.

    Strange Voices

    Remember this from years back,was insightful regarding mental illness. The struggles on acceptance & help still has challenges,even to this day. The music was odd sometimes,but Nancy's acting was powerful. The rest if the casting & cinematography,was also great. A time where movies had impact,worth checking it out.

    As you'd expect

    A chirpy, happy-go-lucky teenager begins to complain of voices in her head. Before you know where you are, she's descending into schizophrenia. Er, that's it.

    80's film on mental illness

    This film isn't bad, although many people commenting have hated it all because of the music. What 80's film didn't? Others commenting that they have no experience with the illness yet think they're able to talk about it. First of all psychiatric drugs like Quetiapine for example issued to myself in 2008 was so horrible that I could barely move. They had to reduce the mg. There is so much stigma attached to mental illness especially the ones like this. Sadly the way people think about it causes them to give films like this negative feedback. The film is sad and scary too that this illness can come to a person suddenly. A girl with so much ahead of her became very sick.
