I have seen the movie and read the other reviews to date. If you are looking for a review by a movie critic, skip this. This review, like all others, is based on personal taste and experience--it is very subjective.
My main interest in this movie is the subject of agoraphobia (literally a fear of open spaces), which it illustrates fairly well. Some reviewers have labeled this anthrophobia, fear of people. I dont see an distinction here. My wife suffered from this disease for many years. When the symptoms first became evident, we had no idea what the cause was and it scared the hell out of us. No one else seemed to know either which made it worse. I wish that in 1968-1973 there had been a movie like this. The disease is debilitating. It is not, as one reviewer put it, "a case of nerves." Lately some doctors have become aware of this problem and in an attempt to educate the medical professionals I can reach some doctors have been given copies of this disk.
If you suffer from this condition, are responsible for the care of someone afflicted, or a loved one has this, please watch this show. If you don't want to buy it, rent it or borrow it. The point is if people understand what the disease is they can be more help to the people involved.
As other reviewers ahave complained this movie will not keep you on the edge of your chair but it will open your mind. I believe some who have taken the time to review this show could be helped by opening their minds.
Thank you. If I can offer any assistance to the afflicted, please write me at barrie.bracken@hotmail.com
