A story that is much deeper than it seems at first. Original, daring, and compelling. I wasn't sure where it was headed. In some ways, it works more as a drama than a romance, but in the end, love is paramount to the story.

Spoiler Alert! This is a Rom Com, so all the typical sit-norms of a rom com are in play, including the ending, but that is ok, 'cause I really like these people, and I am rooting for them, from start to end! It is not easy being normal, in these crazy times. And Being Schizophrenic makes it even harder! But love can help! :) If you think the world has passed you by, leaving you in a state of repetitive dread, this movie may just give you a little bit of hope, and a whole lot of great scenery, on the way! So what you waiting for? Watch it mate! Cheers :)

I know this writing/directing team from their previous digital series Low Life and High Life that deal with depression and bipolar disorder, so I expected sensitivity and realism in their depiction of the lead's schizophrenia. I expected them to mine humor in loads as well. There are a lot of truly funny moments, and not one of them cheap or undeserved. What is truly impressive in the story telling is how true it is to both living with mental illness and living with someone with mental illness, while still being bearable to watch. And to make it a love story story at the same time raises the degree of difficulty a lot. But Dolmans script draws real human beings that the actors deftly embody. Luke Eve's direction is masterful, delivering a pace and flow that just works. The editing and effects and amazing and just right. It is sweet, sad, thrilling, chilling, horrifying, and finally hopeful without stretching the truth. I didn't expect the ending, but the movie earned it. The makes you work and isn't mindless or escapist,, but it's totally worth it.

A man with mental issues embarks on an epic, cross-country journey to find the woman of his dreams - who may be all in his head. The Music is alright acting is good. But overall the movie is dull.

Sure it's entertaining enough (I guess) but If the people who made/wrote/produced this film have ever met or known anyone with schizophrenia- I'd be really surprised. And even more so if those people aren't offended by their depiction of this Illness.

A tricky endeavor to depict mental illness alongside romance - it's a relief that the reality of the illness, as well as the lead's strife to adapt with it, are prioritized over the romance. None of that "love cures all" BS.

I met a girl is a must see film cause it is sweet,charming but can be uncomferable to watch at times,sexy,and dramatic. The cast is great and the characters are likable. The movie is definitly worth watching cause it really shows how difficult it can be dealing with mental illness but how you can deal with it and be able to live your life not having to be sheltered your whole life.

I only watched this coz I saw Brendon Thwaits (Devon) was in it. I was pleasantly surprised. The actors were superb, the script was heartfelt and the scenery was inspired. I also really appreciated a lead with a mental illness. Worth the watch!
