Synopsis
Eternal Beauty (2020) is Craig Roberts' tragicomedy, available to watch online on iFILM. Jane lives with paranoid schizophrenia, and the film stays inside her point of view instead of looking in from the outside.
Sally Hawkins plays a woman diagnosed at twenty, after a fiancé who never showed up at the altar. Her family pushes, the medication piles up, and she decides to stop taking it, which makes the world both brighter and more dangerous. Then comes Mike, a drifting musician carrying troubles of his own, played by David Thewlis. Billie Piper, Alice Lowe and Penelope Wilton round out the prickly relatives.
Roberts films mental illness as a different way of seeing rather than a sentence, flipping from funny to aching with no warning. One for viewers who don't need a tidy plot and enjoy an off-kilter lens. Watch Eternal Beauty (2020) online on iFILM.
