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.
WTF was this? Did the director, Hopkins wife, find this script in Woody Allen's recycle bin? Did Sir Anthony need a paycheck? The only thing that would make this worse is if Nick Cage made an appearance.
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.

If anyone is asking how Anthony Hopkins signed up for this exercise-in-tripe, I'll spare you a trip to Google. His wife--and boy oh boy, did she ever belch out (I mean, direct) a 'doozy.' Hands-down, some of the worst acting by an ensemble (if we can actually call it that) one will ever see. No joke intended--this is smack dab along the caliber of. Tommy Wiseau's "The Room." And that's without the relief of an occasional laugh. On the positive end, I'm confident that this will ensure us that Lisa Pepper will never become a mainstay on our silver screens. From the lousy, soporific screenplay to the lead performance from film school hell, this should have taken the lion's share of the Golden Raspberry Awards, but didn't. Why? The only reason I can think of is that it is SO bad it's beyond parody. Venture to it at your own risk.
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.
