A good movie and something different. The director has managed to make a movie dealing with mental health area that is not all sadness and tragic ridden. The movie is humorous without being insulting or maudlin. Sally Hawkins is fantastic!

Sally Hawkins does well portraying a vulnerable, demure young lady. Its more sad than it is funny, so I'm surprised its categorised, in part, as a comedy - there are some light hearted moments in it I suppose but its more a depiction of a dysfunctional family at large than primarily an idyllic rom-com. I thought the cast did well and its an interesting watch. It became quite moving after about an hour, when things take a somewhat more dark turn. I think Sally's performance is reasonably memorable and I'd recommend this film to fans of hers. A key word relating to this film and the main character is fragility. Expand

Excellent performance from Sally Hawkins, becoming one of Britain's top drama actresses. The opening scenes are hilarious and the film holds this humour but also has a very serious and sad tone, due to the topic of mental illness. There areExcellent performance from Sally Hawkins, becoming one of Britain's top drama actresses. The opening scenes are hilarious and the film holds this humour but also has a very serious and sad tone, due to the topic of mental illness. There are also notable good performances from David Thewlis and Penelope Wilson. Jane is the kind of character that you fall for and you cling to all her lines, even the little quiet one liners under her breath.
Although there are good performances throughout, this is Hawkins film. Her posture, mumbling, dialogue and pure pressence capture the tortured world of her mental health. This film made me laugh loudly on numerous occasions and although there is a sadness the storyline, there was a big smile on my face from start to finish. Brilliantly mad. Loved it.
