Daniel Isn't Real is set in the world of mental illness, but it isn't about mental illness. The main character Luke seemingly struggles with some sort of cognitive and psychiatric issue upon the return of his imaginary friend Daniel from childhood. Questions of mental illness plague Luke given his mother's own psychosis. But Daniel may be more than just the imaginary friend of Luke and the personification of Luke's libidinal impulses. And, this fantasy or supernatural element could place Luke outside the realm of your average psychiatric case. Or not. You decide.
