The movie is so vanilla that it starts to vomit. But it would be great if suddenly a kind soul and light in the eyes would cure people. Great, and in the case of some mental disorders, it will work. And even in the case of severe diseases, increase survival. But there is no magic or miracle. The film creates a fictional world, an illusion, a fairy tale for adults. Judging by the reviews, adults have a demand for this.
There really is something valuable in the film. Adams objects to labeling patients as diagnoses or "interesting cases." He believes that treatment should begin with getting to know the patient and establishing a trusting relationship. All of this has really happened in the past. The problems were recognized, medical organizations called for reform of the profession and medical ethics from within. The approach has changed. Patients are no longer called diagnoses. There are standards that require a personal approach to each patient. By the time the film was made, these changes had already taken place in the United States. But they did not happen in all countries. They're desperately needed.
It is noteworthy that the film did not like the Adams prototype.
