I found this film incredibly (and unexpectedly) moving, to be honest I was in tears at the end. The material was handled so sensitively by Jesse Eisenberg, walking that tightrope between humour and pathos. It's a very difficult subject but as someone who lost a brother due to mental health issues I am thankful for the way it was handled. And Kieran Culkin was a revelation, one of those faces which you can't take your eyes away from..

I have noticed that a lot of the 2 and 3 star reviews in newspapers and mags are by men...duh!! My experience of watching this film was with my women friends; the reaction, from all, including myself, was intrigue, laughter, a few tears. I'm sorry, but there are so few films which really get their teeth (oops!) into what it's really like being a woman, mother or not. Loved it. 👍💕👍
