The movie tailed off for me at the end but Hepburn is absolutely stunning in this movie a debut for the ages going toe to toe with John Barrymore in this one. Solid performances all around and when the movie is high it's high, but the takes on mental illness being passed down through genetics causing Hepburn and Barrymore to be sidelined out of their love lifes is extremely dated and is pushing a message of eugenics.
The movie has some really solid messaging outside of that though finding happiness even in the dark moments like how barrymore's character said or something of the sorts.
If this movie was 90-100 Minutes I wish it could've done something like how Pilgrimmage did where we Barrymore's character shipped away to the asylum and then we pick up the story in the present day.
