Violet

Many people suffer from severe anxiety disorders and schizophrenia as well. Many of the scenes were like memories in my own life, feeling insecure and having continuous self talk in your brain. It can be debilitating. Even with medication. I'm a Vice President of a company but I still struggle sometimes. This character that Olivia Munn played FABULOUSLY is a groundbreaking one in a small limited release film. If you DON'T understand this movie, try to imagine what this must be like for someone. It's a real challenge. Cheers to Olivia Munn for her brave and authentic performance. Violet is a character that I will remember.

Violet is a film exec that is living under the weight of a fear-based mindset. The film is interesting because you see her hopes contrasted with the fear's voice while the action is happening. It's a slow break from the past, but a fresh look at the inner workings of a modern mind.

I liked it. Initially I was put off by the large script writing on the screen. I think it could have been less intrusive on the frame. Nevertheless, I did like the character, her inner doubts and insecurities, her need to conform to fit in, her internal struggles with both herself and those around her. Her overall anxiety at the workplace and in her personal life. Not feeling good enough or worthy enough. I could very much identify with her even though I am a male. These anxieties and challenges happen to both genders. I deal with anxieties and OCD all my life too so I could see myself in this character. I especially loved our she overcame it. Especially with the death of her mother and the family dynamics. I had a very similar experience with an older brother. The way she responded to that event gave me personal solace that I did the right thing in my own life.

I saw this without reading on the plot-line or anything, for me it was an exploration. I let go and allowed the director take the helm.

Finally after watching it, I can say it was disturbing and relatable enough. It may indeed be boring and a tough watch for someone on the wagon but if you're just adrift on a raft, you can give time and understand. Sound and visuals really gelled together to convey the eruptions/disturbances in thought.

For me it was a cathartic journey which with progress in time presented hope. Acting, Directing, minor bits and pieces all of them came well together.

This is the first film I've seen that has shown so clearly, the mental anguish of anxiety condition & post childhood abuse and/or neglect. Did a great job of showing visually how that feels & how it affects daily life - so well done! Good tips to deal with and/or overcome it too, thank you.
