Review of Words on Bathroom Walls

Well-meaning young adult film about a young man with schizophrenia, which attempts to convey something of what that's like. Sometimes scary, but the film almost makes it seem a bit cool - I note that like John Nash in "A Beautiful Mind" he is haunted, if that's the right word, by some consistent imaginary people - a young hippy woman, a cool dude version of himself/best friend, and a group of threatening African-American bodyguards with a baseball bats. Do real schizophrenics experience their hallucinations like that? I don't know - other reviews seem to hint that the film pretties up what it feels like to be schizophrenic.

It was a decent enough film to watch, on Netflix, despite a rash of high-school movie cliches.
