Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I just saw this movie on TV and thought why didn't I see this earlier? Was it that badly promoted in Europe or did I really miss it? The performers deserve a 10/10 credit, but what to to with the writer, Michael Rymer. Give him 12/10 or more? Imagine a story with two schizo's, true love, a baby, drugs that are allowed and a "normal" family. You would think it stinks, but no, Rymer brings in the wheel of fortune. What a stunt. It's the thin red line that makes this movie incredible.Daily slapstick around a daily drama. While half of the world is concerned about finding the right consonants, two people are confronted by finding themselves.Also wonderful editing and the music score is overwhelming. Down Under did it again. Thanks folks.

Gritty endearing movie that rings true -- there are so many movies that are fables that tell us that mentally ill people are purer and wiser than the rest of us - like Russian village idiots --- this one tells us that they're real and complex people that ought to be loved but should'nt be left to manage their own treatmeant.

In terms of drawing a direct and raw emotional response to the characters, Angel Baby is probably the best film I have ever seen. Because the characters go through some torrid times, the viewer is drawn into some very unpleasant territory. But I emerged emotionally fulfilled, and really feeling as though I had connected with the mental state of the characters. If this is what you seek from a movie, then please see this one.

If you read the plot description of this film - two patients in a mental hospital fall in love, decide to move in together, one of them gets pregnant, and the two decide to go off medication for the baby's sake, with tragic results - you might think this is an American-type disease-of-the-week movie, but you'd be wrong. This is a tough and wrenching film which doesn't shy away from the tough questions. The ending is a puzzlement, because I'm not sure what it means, but other than that, this is powerful stuff. John Lynch and Jacqueline McKenzie deserve to be commended, as does writer-director Michael Rymer.
