would recommend if you're really into poetic movies

Warning: Spoilers
I think this movie was beautifully made the story of an oddly ill girl and a movie director who wants to know a little better this crazy women but because of how the movie is written (a bit too poetic for the non poets) not everyone will be able to enjoy this type of movie the way I did.

The way the director could help "she"to be better and we can see the improvement of his actions on the 10 last minutes she didn't harm herself she could meet her mother and she surprisingly said herself the real date of her birthday who she kept proclaiming was "tomorrow" so the director wouldn't leave her alone on her "birthday" so that tomorrow will be the beginning of her new happy life. I appreciated the fact that we could dive into the director thoughts and that it wasn't just a movie without any bad side to it. The director had doubts as well . He questioned himself. Could he take care of a madwomen even though the rollercoaster of emotions started to drown himself mentally and physically? Can he ease her pain? Could "She" be helped? I also loved the way "She" expressed her love towards the director and the other way around when the director confessed the fact that he was in love with her:) Some of the scene or things that "she" talked about where really touching for example the way she used to (in the past cause she succeed and improved) check how she was doing by standing on the edge of the rooftop and "tempting" herself to jump and su$$ide; or again when she talked about hurting herself. Those simple scene were for the hardest to create considering the movie watcher has to feel something while watching those scenes and feel connected to the characters which, I definitely did. So I think The director did a good job. I thank them for letting me appreciate this masterpiece. I am myself mentally ill and this movie makes me feel like it is okay and that their will always be someone by my side. Would recommend!! See y'all the 7th December;) please recommend me some movies!!!.
