Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
3/4
The movie is worth seeing, for Gere's transitions from highs to lows, which are so convincing that we really do feel in the presence of mental illness, with all of its seductive interior logic. Go to Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) 12/22/2021
The film opens strongly, but by largely neglecting Jones when in his depressive periods and taking the view that love conquers all and justifies everything, it dodges the important issues it raises. Go to Full Review Lori Hoffman Atlantic City Weekly 08/17/2006

Joy B. @9mr_0 3d فلم ضعيف يحاول يخلي البطل يظهر بشكل رومانسي و وسيم وجذاب وهل هحجي مو بفتره من الفلم الحجي مستمر من اول الفلم النهايتة يظهر ان النوبات تخلية اكثر سعاده وطاقه وهو العكس الاضطراب ثنائي القطب هو حالة مزمنة تحتاج لالتزام طويل الأمد بالعلاج بينما الفيلم يميل لإعطاء انطباع بأن "الحب" أو "التفاهم" قد يكونان الحل السحري الفلم درامى رومانسيه اكثر ما هو درامى طبيه حول شخص يعاني من امراض نفسيه See more Janine B Feb 4 Richard Gere is the most convincing portrayal I have ever seen of someone suffering a manic high and the lows that accompany it. While not everyone suffers these extremes the episodes uncannily mirrored some of my experiences with a close friend. I would have given it 5 stars. The romantic plot with the psychiatrist was not plausible. The reality is more that of the bank teller who is intrigued by the exuberance of the person and is carried along with the ups and downs into a relationship. Otherwise well done Richard Gere it's hard to play over the top without it descending into a parody. It's an extraordinary achievement. See more Steve D 02/21/2023 Gere's performance really made it work for me. See more 12/02/2015 another rom-dram about mental illness See more 07/15/2015 Elokuva kaksisuuntaista mielialahäiriötä sairastavasta potilaasta (Richard Gere) ja hänen lääkäristään. Odotukset olivat korkealla, mutta leffa olikin tyypillistä jenkkihapatusta... See more Frances H 04/21/2014 Rather unusual,poignant drama about an emotionally disturbed man. Good performances by Lena Olin and Richard Gere. See more Read all reviews
