Review of My Perfect You (2018) by Talica S — 11 Jul 2018

This movie was a very pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting much but it honestly was exactly what I needed. I struggle with anxiety and I was actually looking for a distraction when I put this on. It not only distracted me but made me smile.

Like Abi says in the movie. All you have to do is smile. It provided me with a lot of perspective, which was what I needed, just like burns. Mental illness really is a serious issue and I felt this movie walked the very thin line between being informative and entertaining without being too triggering.

There are triggers for those struggling with mental illness but it's a story of redemption inspite of it. The movie teaches us to focus on the now and the people we love. To recognize if we have a problem and to not be afraid to seek help.

This movie was indeed an informative and entertaining ride. I cannot recommend it enough. Gerald brought his acting game and Pia astonishes us with her innocence and positivity. This movie deserves all the praises.

Direc Cathy doesn't disappoint as usual and even teaches us that we all deserve second chances. Recommend to everyone.
