Terrible
This is the worst acting I have ever experienced. Except for Anthony Hopkins, the entire cast is horrible.
The storyline is just stupid and unbelievable.
Please do not watch this movie:P
Could NOT get passed the bad acting- wow!
Anthony Hopkins is the only great experience actor in this painfully slow made for TV movie. Main characters Elyse portrayal of a woman struggling with mental illness was horrible. She wasn't believable. It seems she Elyse just memorized her lines and at times delivers them in a repetitve fashion. Not worth watching! I can't believe such an excellent actor like Anthony Hopkins agreed to be in this film. Not sure what the BK and WH was supposed to portray but even when it switched to color the movie was still a failure. Hopefully Hopkins did this movie to donate his proceeds to Charity. I can't imagine what would have made this movie at least a 5.
Elyse is a cerebral psychological drama
I knew while watching this that my husband would hate it and some of my friends too but I enjoyed the journey of the film. I was intrigued as to where we were going and what was really happening and what was not. Fantasy? Reality? Hallucinations? Yes. All of the above but I enjoyed the scenarios nonetheless. All of the actors were terrific especially Anthony Hopkins. He was superb as always. Some will not like this movie but the ones who do are in for a wonderful escape from reality if only for awhile.
I had no idea it's so bad
I don't usually rate movies this low but this is awful. Bad acting, the script is soooo flame, I think they wanted to be interesting and intellectual but the failed. I have 2 stars only for Anthony Hopkins. I am really sorry for him that he had to go through this.

Anthony Hopkins is great. That is the only thing about the film that is great.
While it seems the intent of the movie is to take the viewer on a journey to illustrate struggles of mental illness, it took odd twists and turns that didn't benefit the plot. Acting of certain characters seemed forced. I wouldn't see it again.
