A journey into the world of mental illness.

John Doyle

Globe and Mail

The film has remarkable access and, throughout, Rosenberg weaves in the story of what happened to his sister, a woman who had schizophrenia. Not easy viewing, but very powerful.

Bedlam is partially a wake-up call and partially a somber reminder of how much we've failed people over the last century.

Bedlam provides valuable context about how prisons have largely replaced asylums as facilities to care for people with mental illnesses. But the film's real strength is in Rosenberg's connection with his subjects.

We Live Entertainment

The subjects unrelated to director Kenneth Paul Rosenberg allow him to show them in their most extreme, fragile states. This allows people to see what mental illness really looks like.

Film Inquiry

Bedlam isn't shy about how many errors we've made or how much work it will take to correct our course, but thanks to Rosenberg's care in crafting this documentary, you'll leave feeling more resolved for change than bogged down by defeat.
