Superb film. Compelling (if irrelevant) theme tune, Duncan Gray, words written by Robert Burns. Duncan Gray cam’ here to woo, Ha, ha, the wooing o’t, On blythe Yule-night when we were fou, Ha, ha, the wooing o’t, Maggie coost her head fu’ heigh, Look’d asklent and unco skeigh, Gart poor Duncan stand abeigh; Ha, ha, the wooing o’t. - @Tuesday, January 1, 2019 8:11 AM

While binging on Frame's lush prose I find myself overtaken by her images, and her language. I am like an abandoned building in which her stories have taken residence in. I am her devoted acolyte, her moon, the character she writes after writing why! Oh, it's a great movie, too. : ) - @Saturday, February 4, 2017 8:19 PM

Why is it her mother does not appear after she has been released from the asylum? Had her mother already passed away? But one line in partiuclar resonates greatly " I knew I would not have a second chance for my survival". Yes, often one has to leave the scene of their depression if only to breathe some fresh new air and thus gainly a fresh perspective. - @Sunday, May 29, 2016 5:37 AM

why do U.S. and British film trailers ruin films with their corny voice-overs. Chocolate Box commercial? - @Thursday, May 3, 2012 11:44 PM
