Another great performance by Sally Hawkins

While I didn't really rate this title very highly at only 7.0 out of 10, I am bothering to review it here simply because of two things. First Sally Hawkins performance as Jane and second, because I can only be all in favour of anything that helps to raise awareness of mental health problems.I live now in Thailand where there is absolutely zero understanding of, or interest in, mental health issues. Even in Western societies today, there is STILL such a degree of misunderstanding of mental health problems that it is still common for people to think that mental illness is a fall-back excuse for sufferers' "bad" or inappropriate behavior. The cry of "just pull yourself together" is all too common even these days and even among people who should know better, with education about the matter being so readily available to anyone who cares enough to look for it."Eternal Beauty" should be a lesson to anyone who has even a bare notion about what mental illness is. Sally Hawkins' portrayal of a young woman suffering from schizophrenia is an object lesson in how that condition affects the sufferer and those around him or her.This is not an easy movie to watch but that is really the point. It's not an easy condition to live with, either as the sufferer or as family. Sally gives yet another wonderful performance here, just as she did in "Made In Dagenham" and as the wonderful "Maudie". She has quite a distinguished career already at only 44 years of age. She has, I'm sure, an even more distinguished career ahead of her.Watch "Eternal Beauty". It's a challenging movie but very worth the effort.JMV

Mixed feelings

Ive got mixed feelings for this movie. Acting is superb.Plot is about seriously ill person. Its very hard movie to watch, after 1/3 of movie I wanted to switch of, because it felt so dark. I watched it till end just because wanted to understand whats in persons mind with this illness and how it affects family and siblings. There was something missing in movie.But it was emotionally intense, I cried, then smiled. It's deeply touching.But i don't watch this movie again. It's too " heavy " and something missing to be great movie.
