I almost shut this down more than once. The beginning and most of the rest of the film were very disjointed, making it harder to "get into" the story. It was depressing and manic and for a moment, looked like it would turn into a horror film.
This is a very, very sad tale of mental illness and I found no comedy in it. Drama, yes but no comedy. A family of broken people and even the sister who had it together with husband and son, deluded herself that all was well, until one day she caught her husband red-handed with his tartlet.
Very painful to watch the main protagonist having flashbacks that simply showed that she never had peace of mind. When she finds a mate who accepts her and shares her state of mind, he cheats on her with her sister, the beautiful one, who envies Plain Jane's mental illness, to get money from the government.
The mother is positively brutal in every sense, to the very end. Sad, so sad, really.
