Film is painfully over long, Coogan's character narrates then all of a sudden that is dropped, the flashbacks aren't done smoothly but are jarring and some totally unnecessary. The film takes itself far to seriously and spreads itself far too thinly - what is it exactly commenting on. Also I think personally it portraits mental health badly. People with mental health issues hold down amazing jobs and have loving relationships. Just urgh all round.
