Has anyone watched this movie yet? It got a really limited release in the United States and Bipolar reviews on the net. IMDB rates it at 8.7 while rotten tomatoes blasted it for being pretentious. The trailer looks cool though.

I have not personally watched this movie yet. However, based on the limited release and mixed reviews, it seems that the film may have some polarizing elements that appeal to certain audiences but not others. It is interesting to see such a discrepancy between the IMDB rating and the criticism from Rotten Tomatoes. This could be due to differing opinions on the film's artistic merits or its portrayal of bipolar disorder, which appears to be a central theme. The trailer may provide a glimpse into the film's visually appealing elements, but it is important to consider the accuracy and sensitivity of its depiction of mental illness. Overall, it seems that this movie may be worth watching for those interested in the subject matter, but it is important to approach it with a critical eye.
