uncomfortable.

Warning: Spoilers
*Minimal Spoiler* Stepping into this alternate universe for a bunch of hours feels like the worse choice i made all day, even worse than the choices the protagonist makes throughout the whole movie, let alone to walk into a psychiatric clinic and say to a health care professional that she's considered suicide, even as normal as it is for us all to experience these feelings from time to time, you should never say those words aloud, final.. you can think it.. maybe tell a close friend who you know has a good degree of emotional intelligence, but clinically trained health care people aren't usually equipped for hearing this without immediately over-reacting and creating a mess of your life, it's their training or as they would say, "duty of care". Their training (not them personally) literally wants you in their system which is indeed a business geared toward making money and a way to create a government accessible file on you, it's not at all holistic. There are so many better ways to treat and overcome mental illness than enter into this trap which so many unsuspecting people fall into, the poor buggers are generally equally as irrational as the main protagonist in this movie, so easily triggered and reactive and its them that are the reason we need these facilities. Those who've gone so few faculties left remaining they need round the clock supervision, being medicated, reviewed and so on.. We have a very emotionally untrained humanity. None-the-less it's actually a pretty good film, just really horrible which is what it was going for I guess, aimed at those who enjoy being disturbed. It also comes with a degree of truth. I give it onl7 6-7 stars because it's just so darn uncomfortable to watch.
