What If It Works?

2017, how was this 2017?

The way mental illness is depicted in this lemon is staggering. Luke Ford's portrayal of OCD should be offensive to ALL. Also Melbourne looks like a dirty place.

Media representation for D. I. D. Is staggeringly awful and almost always increases misunderstanding and stigma. This movie is not only the most accurate representation I've seen of my disorder, it's also a really good movie. As a writer, I can say that they executed the elements of story in a way that was moving and beautiful. Without giving away spoilers, there aren't easy answers given. It's realistic but hopeful. I loved it and stayed up late replaying it in my mind.

Exciting bursting color, well placed movement, music enhance the visual delight of this film in inner urban settings.

Modern life, chaos, beauty, challenge, different ways of being.

Romi Trower and her talented Crew have given us a gift, a sweet wonder of a film speaking to us about love, pain and discovery. Adrian (Luke Ford)takes us with him on his journey. We care, we want Adrian to succeed. We want to understand. Grace (Anna Samson) brings her character to us in a reality we begin to comprehend as the film unfolds. The marvelous Cast Actors support and enhance our understanding with empathy, subtle, generous acting.

Dr Di Scaala(Karen Fairfax) works as a sensitive device to allow us to engage in the challenges our heroes face in their quest.

Didn't want the film to end, there was much to see, enjoy, learn, contemplate and at the same time, entertain.

The mark of a good film? It leaves you with something. "What if it works" leaves you with so much. You'll always remember this film.

This film tells the story of a man with OCD and a woman with multiple personality disorder.

There's always a danger of making fun of psychiatric issues in a comedy dealing with psychiatry. Fortunately, this film treads the fine line well, and delivers laughs without being insensitive. It even tells the pain of having such mental health problems, and the stress of being a carer. It is a delightful romantic comedy, and I enjoyed watching it.

A delightful film shot in some of the most arty and colorful streets of Melbourne.it traces the impossible love story between Adrian, an irrepressible tech nerd stuck in his OCD rituals to avoid confronting the pain of the past and Grace, a DID sufferer, struggling to integrate her personality and her life through art and therapy. The writer director, Romi Trower, tells the story with great insight, integrity and love. Despite their serious mental health issues, Adrian and Grace are portrayed as interesting, capable, intelligent people with needs, hopes and dreams like everybody else. No attention is spared in creating detailed sets, quirky wardrobes and great music. This beautiful film radiates honesty, humanity, pathos and humor. It is a must see!
