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.

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'm in a catatonic coma
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.
Shallow and disappointing
We watched this movie only because of Anthony Hopkins, but ended up with a shallow, cheap and ordinary one. It could have been a great movie if there would be more phycological background, more analysis, more .....
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.
