this be a good attempt to show some of the symptom and family issue which occur when a member develop the illness . a very good movie consider that it be make for television . this film be good than most of the stuff show on lifetime movie network . not a great film but one worth watching . some useful information can be learn from it . i believe the progression of the illness and when it occur and the effect be have on her family be fairly accurate . it seem a though some critic expect this film to be on the level of a beautiful mind . that just be not realistic . the film be make year ago and for much less money . yes it be a shame that money have such an effect on film production but it do . i disagree with other reviewer who be too hard on the film . consider the make for tv budget constraint on actor and script and direction i think the total package be good .
