From the Back Cover
After a near-fatal car accident in a stolen car, 19 year old Jonathan Breech (Cillian Murphy) is given two choices – prison or a psychiatric hospital. He begrudgingly accepts the latter, though he makes it clear to the psychiatrist (Sptehen Rea - The End of The Affair, that he doesn’t believe in therapy. Jonathan then begins the long journey of understanding himself through other patients. His friend Toby, a sensitive, tormented young man who blames himself for his brother’s accidental death, offers support. And, by falling for Rachel (Tricia Vessey - Kiss The Girls), who is constantly testing him, unable to believe that anyone can love her, he truly learns to love others.

Customer Reviews
If, however, you do suffer, or have suffered, or care or have cared for sufferers then you will praise the harsh and improbable God that someone who understands has made a film for people like you. If you do suffer I recommend you don't watch this alone. It bought up some painful things for me, and I was very glad that my dear wife was there to reflect off when it finished. It raised enough strong emotion to shift me out of a medication numbness, allowing me to feel rather better the following day. So it qualifies as therapy in my book.
The ending is bitter-sweet and not remotely happy ever after, but those who do survive walk into a new stage of their lives, with a bit more of a reason to carry on (that being love).
Cillian Murphy is a brilliant actor who always makes the most of interesting roles. The supporting cast are memorable too.
After a failed suicide attempt Jonathan (Cillian Murphy)is admitted into a treatment center where he and his fellow inmates promise their doctor not to harm themselves until after new years day. Although he fights the doctor's attempts to make him talk, and the other patients seem to be a crazy lot, he manages to build relationships with them, whilst coming to terms with his own confused feelings.
This is a captivating movie, with some superb acting from Cillian Murphy and Tricia Vessey who plays Rachel.
