Don't Believe the Hype
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I would highly recommend this personal, generous and revealing insight into the experience of living with schizophrenia to a broad spectrum of the community. Most importantly Jeremy's story will help educate those out there who paint all who are given this label with the same brush. What comes across most poignantly is that Jeremy above all is a deeply creative, gentle and sensitive individual. For those like myself, who continue to care deeply for a family member or friend dealing with this condition they will appreciate the humour, 'realness' and dignity with which this life experience is dealt with. I deeply appreciate the family's generosity of spirit in opening up to allow others to benefit from witnessing the journey that they have gone on with Jeremy. This film doesn't generalise, sugar coat, trivialise or dramatise this condition but seeks to examine the complexity of it while not loosing sight of the bigger picture, namely the nature of any individual in the world searching for meaning, creative expression and companionship.I found the viewing experience deeply satisfying, refreshing and quite uplifting.
