User's review

Very poignant and charming: the shadow of mental illness cloaked in whimsy. If you or yours have ever faced a mental health issue you will appreciate the superlative response of the community to Lars' delusional disorder. They rally round in an inspiring display of respect and affection for the lonely young man with such integrity. The film is fascinating in its depiction of externalizing the mental voice that many of us carry in our private lives. Patricia Clarkson is noteworthy as the GP/Psychologist who treats Lars with respect, compassion and wisdom. Her insight is that what we so often label as pathology may be experience that has a deeper purpose that must be respected for it to be resolved. Emily Mortimer is sterling as Lars' concerned sister-in-law. Funny, at times heartwrenching in its quirkiness, this film is a winner.
