  • As one who suffers from bipolar disorder I thought this actors performance of it specially when it came to the manic episode was an overexageration of one.yes it did show him as being a genius.but in all honesty it was hollywoods attempt at being insensitive and exploitive to the plight of the mentally challenged for the sake making them money.

  • "Then who are you?"

  • good actor and good performance though tilda swinton is clearly the one who astonished me . The good hearted raving madman making points is one of the actors staple (off the top of my head dennis hopper in apocalypse now , gibson in complot ) with the mentally retarded and the lecturing serial killer . In the other hand Tilda swinton character is a rarity : you don t know if you should blame her or pity her . It was so nuanced and lifelike it was disturbing .

  • Def should've won the Oscar... great performance in Michael Clayton....

  • Tom Wilkinson was brilliant in this film.

  • @Eudora74 debatable
