Review of Benny & Joon (1993) by Will T — 25 Dec 2008

Good movie. Sort of a typical love-defeats-all-odds. I thought the early scene with the scuba mask was a ridiculously insipid portrayal of the dangers and heart-break of mental illness; later scene sort of made up for it.

However, clinician going from putting girl on lock down to giving her her own aparment was just too abrupt even for a shallow, fun movie.
