This is such a complicated one. And I guess that is kind of the crux of this movie. It doesn't know what it supposed to be. It is not a movie movie about how the health care system fails mental patients. There are only two scenes about that otherwise it is never mentioned again. Is it not about mental illness either. We see mental illness but it is rather an attempt to show us what it looks like than dealing with it the rational of it. But I won't dare to call it a bad film because Juno Temple and Simon Pegg are absolutely out of this world great. Both in their performances and their chemistry with each other. Temple never ceases to amaze me anyway but I would say this is her best role and it is Peggs best as well. Watch it if you love amazing acting or love Temple and/or Pegg.

Hannah (Juno Temple) is a struggling songwriter working as a receptionist. At a party, she is befriended by record producer Theo Ross (Simon Pegg) who starts working with her. He had stopped taking his pills and is soon suffering a mental breakdown.

Simon Pegg is allowed to stretch his acting legs but this movie needs to do more. First, it needs one more scene of their relationship outside of music at the beginning. In fact, it may work better if she's his daughter or a close relative. I can see her caring about him as a route to music success but this kind of emotional involvement needs more connectivity. The ending with the princess is oddly unreal. There is a scene that is staged in a weird way. I don't believe in it. I end up not liking the ending. This is more compelling as an acting exercise.

It does not show the failure to provide for people with mental illness, because that isn't discussed and we only see 2 references to it when he's in hospital. The dialogue is garbage, it doesn't even make him look as if he has a metal illness it just makes him look stupid. Simon Pegg was the wrong choice for this anyway as he simply has not got the acting range to carry a role like this off. Juno Temple was the only good thing in the film: she is always awesome in anything she does. I gave it a 4 just for Juno Temple, nothing else in the film deserves a thing.
