Mentally Ill-fated

Patrick's Day is a remarkably good film about the difficulties of loving and caring for the mentally ill.  Moe Dunford is extraordinary as the gentle, good-natured schizophrenic, Patrick. Kerry Fox is his loving misguided mother who will and does everything to keep him from the real world.  But Patrick is now an adult and a chance encounter with a damaged airline flight attendant leads him into a world of love and devotion he knows so little about.  It's a cruel and painful process as he tries to understand his sexual awakening.  I would suggest that this may even garner Oscar buzz next year.
