I really liked how this film really focused a lot on a very sensitive topic. Mental illness, with all its struggles, help to unite the people together in the face of adversity, all to help Lars. How the community just came together for him, that was unbelievably touching. The acting too, was superb. An all around, mostly great film.
However, there was just one very huge flaw in my eyes. This film would have been perfect if it were about 1h 20mins. The center just felt overly long and unnecessary. As raw the emotions are, for a slow paced movie to be plateau for so long just makes for a hugely boring film. And for that, for a film that would have been a solid 8 or even maybe 9 in my eyes, was knocked down to a 6. But hey, to each their own, it does has it own charms and if it seems like a strength to you, then I need not go any further, just watch away.
