Has it's flaws but it's still enjoyable and comes together well in the end.

Giving it extra points for being a really good representation of crip/mad theories around mental illness - of how we should integrate "mad" people into our society rather than shun and isolate them. Rain gets to be fully human, gets to be loved even while suffering severe episodes, and isn't "cured" in the end but rather is better supported by those around her.

Caleb is autistically coded and is a good example of how often neurodivergent people are able to intuitively see, love, and support one another in ways that neurotyplicals struggle to - or simply won't. He wasn't scared of her, he believed her but asked responsible questions, and he just wanted to understand her condition so he could empathize with her and support her. ~I may have cried a little when he told her he loved her brain.~ Caleb represents how we could be as a society if we could stop demonizing and separating the mad.

The movie doesn't make her illness a magical power and it doesn't sugar coat how hard it can be at times. But it shows clearly that for her to be sent away would be the worst possible scenario for her.

Overall? That's pretty rad.

The actress was great with portraying her schizophrenia but some of the plot was kinda stupid to me.

[Spoiler] First of all, she's living in the new gen era, everyone records or even take pics with their smart phones. When your parents doubt you bout someone being real, "take vids or it didn't happen" pops straight into our heads, you need proof? That's the best way to get one, but she never even tried taking pics of her neighbor when she was carrying the child by the window or even Caleb for God's sake. That alone was kinda stupid to me. MAAAYYYBE the part bout Caleb being real can be excused since it was the imaginary mom doing most of the questioning and she DID gave a good reason how she needs someone to talk to, but her dad did not believe in her seeing the neighbor with a kid, so taking a pic never crossed her mind at all?What gen is she from?Secondly, she kept saying how she can't call the cops because she's gonna get sent to the hospital but hey? Let's go break into their house instead, cause that won't get you sent straight to the hospital.... Makes sense.....NOT [/Spoiler]

The plot twist was not bad but kinda predictable in some ways. Overall, it's worth a watch.

Some interesting ideas that don't always mesh well, but I still was modestly entertained and liked the young actors, Madison Iseman and Israel Broussard. I'm no expert on schizophrenia but it seems like they did a good job with it, but could be wrong.

The twist isn't a big surprise though they did kind of cheat in their attempts to fool the audience (it's one of those with a scene only there for the viewer). But otherwise, I'd say it's fine as a rental. **3.0/5**
