Wow, just wow. This film (or collection of short films?) really hit home. Call Me Crazy: A Five Film gives an insight into what it is like to suffer from a mental health disorder and what that is like for everyone involved. The film deals with characters who suffer from schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, and PTSD. But it also shows what it is like for the family members whose lives are also effect. This was so good, and for a tv movie, it blew me away. The entire cast was spot-on in their performances and played their parts perfectly, especially Brittany Snow. Brittany Snow is my all-time favorite actor, and she kills it. I may go as far as to say this is one of her best performances, even though it's different from a lot of her roles. Brittany play's Lucy as recovering schizophrenic who not only wants to get better but also wants more from her life. Lucy is the person who ties the whole movie together, and you can really see the wide range of emotions that someone who has a mental health disorder goes through. One reason Brittany is perfect for this role is because in real life, she has worked to spread mental health awareness with her charities Love is Louder and September Letters, which I truly consider heroic. She has had her own struggles with eating disorders and depression and often speaks about the importance of Therapy and self-love. So for me, her performance felt so real because I know she has experienced all of this as well. The entire movie, I just wanted to hug Lucy or to have her hug me. But more than that, I felt that this movie is something that is needed in the world. As someone who deals with depression and social anxiety, it is nice to know that you are not alone and to know that there are people out there going through similar things. It is also good to remember that you're never really alone and that it takes other people to deal with these larger issues. All in all, I'm really happy I watched this movie and would recommend it to anyone, especially Brittany Snow fans. And if you are struggling with your mental health or someone you love is, just know They're not crazy, they're just a little unwell.
