Words on Bathroom Walls

POSITIVES…

  • Premise of the story hooks you in, and easily encourages you to see where it’s going to go.

  • Voice over monologues. Breaking the fourth wall voice over monologues. Lots of good ones in that department here.

  • How this movie visualizes schizophrenia is just spot on for this film.

  • The pacing. The editing. The stylistic flairs. Solid stuff.

  • Charlie Plummer as Adam is very excellent in this. Charmingly awkward, and emotional, in all the right ways.

  • Taylor Russell as Maya is great. Cool and confident, the chemistry she shares with Charlie Plummer is fantastic.

  • Got to give a special mention to AnnaSophia Robb as Rebecca, Lobo Sebastian as the Bodyguard, and Devon Bostick as Joaquin. This wouldn’t be as entertaining to watch without them.

  • Supporting cast is good too, from Molly Parker, Walton Goggins, Beth Grant, and Andy Garcia.

  • Easily one of the best things about this movie are the confessionals Adam has with Father Patrick. I look forward to them.

  • That fire at the Catholic School Nun’s office is quite the sight too. This movie knows how to have fun with itself.

  • Final act will push your buttons to see how far you are still invested with the plot progression. I for one was completely with it all the way to the final frame of the movie.

  • I loved loved loved the thematic core of this story. This isn’t really just about schizophrenia. This has an important message to share with everyone watching.

NEGATIVES…

  • Some predictable plot cliches, and tropes.

  • Story does opt for some conveniences with it’s overall narrative.
