Watched online, poor print (blurry).
25 songs in the Soundtracks, with 1 that I recognized: 'The Magnificent Seven' Theme, Written by Elmer Bernstein, Performed by Tito Rodriguez and His Orchestra. Bizarre adaptation, but it works.
I'm not sure that I watched this carefully enough, nor do I know enough about schizophrenia to evaluate how well it's portrayed here. But the idea of this 18 yo Marine "falling in love with" this schizophrenic pop star who's in hospital for treatment of same should be more interesting than this film makes it, because her disease does not assert itself much with him. So he's fallen for a part of her, and doesn't understand what else would be involved.
This is tagged Music because she sings & plays guitar a bit.
Neither lead has the charisma to carry this.
Avoid.
