Many sweet moments punctuate the yelling and over-the-top interactions among the out-patients in Marilyn's Eyes.

Rated: 3/5

While the story is sweet, Marilyn’s Eyes struggles under the weight of its subject matter, falling into twee patterns and presenting us with tired caricatures of mental illness.

Movie Nation

A mental health comedy that manages almost nothing that's funny, and a dramedy nobody would believe, in or out of Italy.

Rated: 1.5/4

Yet another overacted film made in Italy. a lot of screaming and shouting, it's like watching an over dramatised Eastenders. More theatrical than movie like. Not one bit of laughter or reality to be seen. What a disappointment. Had to stop 1/4 of the way.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

I found it charming and refreshing. Whether the plot is credible is irrelevant, it's a comedy which normalises mental health snd from the inside out.

I found this very enjoyable. Well acted and filmed with a compelling story line. It reminded me of an Italian "Anger Management". I see that people could be offended by the portrayal of some of the mental health issues but bad stereotypes feature in many films - it just depends on whether you can get past them I suppose?

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent movie for those of us who know mental conditions. Sorry for people with schizophrenia. This subject is a bit ignored by the movie.
