Truly Dreadful Film
Sorry, this movie sucks
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Strong variety contrasts in characters and scenes. Like a good puzzle, you want to put the pieces together. Insightful and compassionate story, which would help outsiders to the issues dealt with to empathize with others, yet at the same time search your own self for issues that may be relevant to your life; i think this back and forth engagement creates a meaningful and helpful dialogues for all viewers to gain something more than they had before they viewed the movie. The actresses seem especially qualified to fulfill the characters developed, which is an asset to the success of this movie; too many movies quickly skim over characters and scenes due for a variety of reasons, from saving money to sometimes compromising when too many people are making decisions, or simply just trying to fit everything into a fixed time frame. I don't feel scenes disappear too quickly; we, as viewers seem to get the message at that particular point and are ready to engage the next piece of the story. Certainly, this reflects Katerine Brooks ability to form, edit, and reform a movie until it reaches it's necessary artistic closure.
Waking Madison is an amazing film. It was a long journey that writer and director Katherine Brooks allowed her fans to take with her. But it was worth every minute of it. As it is worth every second to watch this movie. It will take you deep into the psyche of a woman close to the edge. And in the end, you won't be satisfied if you watch the movie only once. Because it will leave you pondering and thinking for hours afterwards. At least for me, that was the case. The actresses' performances are great. Sarah really becomes Madison and while you're watching the movie, you will feel her pain, her confusion and suffering. And Elisabeth makes you feel, as if you are truly able to feel safe with her character- even though during the movie, you might think, that she is so different to any other therapist portrayed in other movies. The other actresses are acting great as well - I, personally, loved the character Angel (Wendy Glenn) the most. Even though the parts of the movie, that play in the hospital reminded me a lot of the movie Girl, interrupted. Which is not a bad thing, of course.The filming is done very well as well. Not only the actresses and the story itself pull you into Madison's mind, but also the flow of the camera and the art of the pictures, the colors and symbols. That is another reason to watch the movie again - to see all the things, you haven't discovered the first time.Waking Madison is different to Loving Annabelle - but it still has Katherine Brooks' personal touch to it. A lot of it! If you're one of her followers, you will see a lot of her in the movie - which is a great thing. If you're new to her films, make sure to learn more about this great director. It's worth just as much, as watching this movie.
This movie stamps only a clichè-ridden image of MP. This movie shows only the voyeuristic fantasy of the writer and has nothing to do with MP. The writer hasn't researched anything about MPD/DID like I guess the reviewers calling this movie brilliant and awesome didn't. The story - clichè-clichè-clichè...The execution - clichè-chlichè-chlichè. The "hallway-walk" of Madison, the spot right into a room - a woman sitting in a bathtub bathing in blood ...boring old-fashioned clichè. This movie is just a not needed repeat of clichè-ridden, superficial, trivial not needed movies. If you really want to know something about MPD/DID and/ or women who have psychiatry experiences - talk to them. If you want to get entertained - watch another movie!
