Bimbo Bear Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 "Call Me Crazy" is a Lifetime movie that follows the journeys of five different people, four of which are dealing with different mental health issues. The first girl has schizophrenia, the second has Bipolar disorder, the next person has depression, the fourth is dealing with her sister's mental illness, and the fifth person is dealing with PTSD. For a Lifetime movie, I thought it was pretty good and accurate for the most part..... except for the bipolar part. This woman went out of her way to act as over the top as possible and, I'm not gonna lie, it really annoyed me, to the point where I always skip that part of the movie. Maybe that's just my chronic irritation talking, but I mean, was it that hard for them to try to write this woman more realistically? Sure, people in a manic state can be pretty excited and happy, but I don't think most people don't go handing bottles of detergent to random people at the super market talking in a silly and over the top voice about how it's "only $2.95".

confused Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I thought it was pretty well done. I have a friend who I find that annoying when manic. I almost felt like skipping that part, too, it was irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaawal Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I also found it surprisingly well done. Decent portrayals of MI are rare. That bipolar woman though. Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimbo Bear Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 It used to be on Netflix, but I think they took it down. I just look for streaming sites to be honest. There's no way I'm paying youtube $9.99 to watch that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjimjam Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Bizarre, outlandish manic behaviour makes for good TV, I guess. Too bad they don't show show a more balanced view. People have told me I can't have BP because my mood is not going from elated to suicidal several times a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
