      david c Amazing film about paranoid schizophrenia and the mental health system Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member It would have been a better movie if it wasn't trying so hard to be a thriller. The director is competent in generating tension and the editing is excellent, but the subject matter is just too obvious. The buildup is great, but the climax never comes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was very confusing, and the ending left me asking, "WTF?" It was interesting though, the parts I did understand anyway. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member McCann weaves in a somewhat toothless condemnation of a bureaucracy that forsakes the mentally ill, but Revolution # 9 works better as an inside look at one person's slide into madness -- and, more particularly, the impact of that on his loved ones. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member better than A Beautiful Mind; depressing but cares about the characters, McCann's great handheld work Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
