12/30/2015 very powerful movie, frighteningly accurate See more 06/20/2013 Great movie. It's a shame for people who don't like people who have OCD because their different. People should be treated nice even if they do or don't have OCD. See more 12/02/2012 This movie is hilarious. Gotta love British comedies. See more 08/09/2012 Michael Sheen is a great actor. See more 08/09/2012 A man with OCD attempts to reconcile with his estranged wife. Why is this film marketed as a comedy? I don't think it funny when a man can't leave the house without going through a complicated routine or sits naked in a kitchen sink scratching the skin off his feet because he trod in shit. Michael Sheen doesn't think it funny either, and that's why he's is fantastic as Mark, a man with OCD and Tourette's. Each of his tics elicits a flash of self-torture that Sheen captures wonderfully, and desperate anxiety coats his more embarrassing compulsions. It's a committed, incredible performance. I also like the visual metaphors in the film - the winding staircase representing Mark's mind and ordered, structured apartment houses in which only someone with OCD could find beauty (or, in Charlotte's words, someone "named Lenin"). However, I found it difficult to believe that no one else diagnosed Mark before Charlotte. From the first frame it was clear that Mark had OCD, and the wedding video proves that his symptoms aren't new phenomena. And eventually the film becomes a classic story of a troubled man saved by the love of a good woman, which is one of the most trifling stories ever told. Overall, Michael Sheen is the reason to see this film, and though it's marketed as a comedy, he delivers a dramatic and soul-scathing performance. See more 08/06/2012 Hard to find in the States, this little BBC jem maybe melodramatic at times, but the supber cast, make this pretty sweet. Hard to watch sometimes, espically if you have dealt with or know someone with these mental disorders. Michael Sheen and Shirely Henderson are top shelf as alway. See more Read all reviews
