Ratings and reviews

A good account of mental illness,although there is just one aspect of the movie that Nash later stated was not true to his life story.

"Well for me Russell Crowell did such a terrific job of the character. His talent knows no bounds. I would give the movie 5 out of 5.

Such a great treatment of psychotic illness and the war that goes on between what you perceive and what you are told is real. Bit by bit I learnt to integrate the delusions into a functional personality. Just functional. Took a few years until it was easy... Rough times. Luv and Peace.
