Benny and Joon - a real love story

Here is a movie that all can enjoy and really have something to take with them. This is the story of a mentally ill young woman who lives with a loving, caring brother. In the process, a rather strange, young man comes to live with them, who teaches them all a bit about life.
It is a story of compassion and truth and love. A story about dedication and working through the tough stuff in life and coming out with a win/win.
This is a story that stays in your head that speaks to all of our special needs in this life and how we express them.
The spin on mental illness has a good character portrayal as a woman psychiatrist who is professional, but confrontive, and adds to the plot.
Some of the events that occur are real life things that make differences in the lives of those who do not always get to choose what they want in this life.
This is a film that deals with the issue of rejection and how we work through it. Perhaps how we make life into something beautiful once we find someone to share it with.
This is an exceptional movie and is worth sharing with someone who is special.
