An intriguing movie released in 2015. While fictional
in story, Fragile World may shatter a
few misconceptions about those who suffer with the realities of mental illness.
It certainly refreshed my perspective.
The award winning, inspirational film has earned the highest
rating of five Doves. This nonrated family feature is free of foul language, sexual
content, and violence but the storyline is best suited for ages twelve and up.
The main character, Rosalie, an interior designer,
suffered a mental breakdown after the death of her father and occasionally
suffers from delusions.
One day, she meets the man of her dreams,,,but does he
really exist?
That question, as well as the excellent cinematography
and outstanding acting, held my attention the entire movie. I constantly guessed
at what was real, and what was not.
Those uncertainties opened a gate to better
understanding those who suffer with mental illness. Writer/director, Sandy
Boikian deserves kudos for that.
Bruised Reed Productions describes the film as one that
“ponders the depths of human loss, the fragile framework of the human mind, and
the road to emotional and spiritual healing.”
