Realizing someone close to you has been mentally drifting into isolation while daily life keeps moving normally on the surface.

I see my mom in Lucy’s character. Even when a mother suffers from illness or whatever she is going through, she rarely shows us her pain because she sees it as a weakness. A mother will always do everything for her family, for her daughter and son, just to make them happy and to give them the life she wants for them. That is what I love most about mothers. They are truly the MVPs of our lives.

schizophrenia is such a challenging disease and i think the movie did really well depicting the ugly, unforgiving parts of it both from the son and the moms side
