Not everyone will like his movie. No sex or nudity. No action. I remember no profanity. It's a medical mystery. It doesn't rush anything. It just tells the story. The cast was very good. It's a different film, but it's definitely worth the time to watch.

A healthy young reporter starts having psychotic episodes and seizures. Initially doctors diagnosed her with psychiatric problems. This movie teaches us to question the diagnoses our doctors give us when they can't give you the answers that you know deep down are right. Many treat symptoms with medication but don't go to the cause. It took a specialist doctor who interestingly in this time of the crisis in the Middle East is of Syrian origin to find the root of the problem which was a relatively newly diagnosed auto immune disease and treat her. After all the struggle with the missed or wrong diagnosis it would have been nice to see the specific treatment she got to get better.

Chloe Grace Moretz acts very convincingly throughout the very stages of her illness. I can't think of another actress who could have done it better. She has grown even prettier too. Strange casting of her parents Carrie Anne Moss and Richard Armitage both dark haired - maybe it was like that in real life.

Well done - a movie that needs to be seen by many.

6/23/18. I read the book a few years ago and did not know they made it into a movie. Obviously, I had to watch it. It was a very good adaptation of the book, which I loved. It was good that Suzanne Cahalan recovered from this terrible brain condition to write about it. She could have wasted away in a psychiatric hospital because the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her and wrote off her illness as a psychiatric condition. It wasn't until Dr. Najjar came on board, did the biopsy and gave her proper treatment that Cahalan's life turned around. Totally inspirational and worth watching.
