Canvas: A Movie About Family Living with Schizophrenia

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Has anyone seen the film Canvas? I was poking around on NAMI’s Web site yesterday and saw mention of it, so I headed to the Canvas The Film Web site to check it out. The film is about a family dealing with schizophrenia. It stars Marcia Gay Harden as the mother with schizophrenia, Joe Pantoliano as the dad, and Devon Gearhart as their ten-year-old son.

If the trailer is any indication, this is a magnificent film. If anyone has seen it, please post a comment to let us know what you think of it. Once I see it, I’ll post a short review of my own.
