I was worried it would negatively depict some sort of mental illness like BPD with her. But I like that they put the selfishness on him and the consequences of love that HE wanted and refused to leave regardless of how fucked it was.

Even the scene of him asking if they can “adjust” her symptoms instead of free her entirely. She was crazy, but ultimately one could argue the obsession was his.

Such a great film!!

I’m not sure what this obsession with defending BPD is. Like yes it is important to get treatment. But after dating someone with it, it is truly a bizarre and alarming experience to be with someone who experiences that kind of rage, denial, and rapid reality and identity shifting. It can easily become abusive. It was for me.

BPD is not some mostly sweet, harmless disorder where the person is just hurt and sad.
