I Met a Girl

I met a girl is a well directed and produced film with a great cast. The films characters are likable including the main star whos dealing with the struggles of mental illness and trying to separate what's real and what's not. The movie has it's sweet moments and dramatic moments but all in all this movie is great film to watch.

A story that is much deeper than it seems at first. Original, daring, and compelling. I wasn't sure where it was headed. In some ways, it works more as a drama than a romance, but in the end, love is paramount to the story.

This is a great little movie about love of family, hope, finding true love, and dealing with mental illness. Each character does a good job acting and portraying the difficulty each has. I was especially empathetic to the brother since he has to deal with the protagonist's bad decisions. The film is full of hope and despair as the protagonist struggles with psychotic episodes of both extremes, both mania and depression. It does a good job of not focusing too much on one or the other to overwhelm the film with either. I would say this film is really about hope. There is beauty in how each character deals with hope. The protagonist in finding love and purpose, the brother just trying to help his ailing brother, to even the brother's wife who is pregnant and struggling to deal with the life she married into while preparing to have a child of her own. This movie does a great job helping the viewer to be aware of people's challenges with mental illness while also giving us hope without becoming too cheesy or sentimental. I highly recommend seeing this film when you just need some hope. It struggles to find its way there but the payoff when you get there is worth it. Such as life.

I'm not gonna spoil the show and tell you what happened. All I can say is, be a little patient, watch till the end and you'll love it. I loved the reaction of his brother at the end of the movie. Almost gave up halfway, but just glad that I hung on to it. You should too :)

I only watched this coz I saw Brendon Thwaits (Devon) was in it. I was pleasantly surprised. The actors were superb, the script was heartfelt and the scenery was inspired. I also really appreciated a lead with a mental illness. Worth the watch!
