Diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder when she was 18 years old, Charli struggles maintaining healthy relationships, often feeling that the whole world is against her. She attempts to numb the pain with opiates which only drive her further away from the ones she loves. Charli’s condition worsens when she begins developing romantic feelings for her best friend Zee, a kind soul who cares strongly for her but only in a platonic way. Refusing to take her meds, Charli’s illness worsens and her addictions take over. With no hope in sight, Charli quickly spirals out of control, forcing her to take desperate measures.

Sunshine State Cineplex

There’s a thin line between using the film to show the lengths addiction will make a person go to get high and using that to exploit it’s talent. A new drama, Borderline, falls on the wrong side of that line.

Rated: 1/10

Alejandro Turdó

Hoy Sale Cine

Leaving aside some mishaps execution wise, Borderline’s heart is in the right place when putting together a cautionary tale about untreated mental health issues when combined with an addiction problem and the importance of looking for proper help.

Rated: 6/10

Film Threat

The cast is game, baring it all, both literally and figuratively, as a few twists and turns keep audience members on their toes.

Rated: 7/10

While it succeeds in portraying some aspects of this complex condition, it falls short of delivering a cohesive and emotionally resonant narrative.

Rated: 5/10

I think this movie is an absolute must see for anyone whose life is affected by BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) It may well be triggering for those that live with the trauma and/or PTSD but if anyone asks you what it may be, this movie will show both sides

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
