Rose Review: A Detailed Yet Sensitive Exploration of Mental Illness

What initially appears to be a considerably more dramatic Danish version of the British reality show Coach Trip quickly becomes something far more poignant. Niels Arden Oplev's Scandinavian drama, Rose, is a thought-provoking and integrative depiction of mental illness. In an increasingly enlightened and progressive society that does more than just lend a sympathetic ear to those with mental health issues, whether the film industry will reciprocate this progression remains to be seen. This is a particularly prevalent question when it comes to schizophrenia, a condition that is wildly misunderstood in both real life and cinema.
