Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows of some good movies that deal with borderline or characters that you find relate to some of the aspects. There's a few I know of that are allegedly about BPD, unfortunately a lot are super negative or not very accurate. Any suggestions would be swell. White Oleander (2002) Girl, Interrupted (1999) Single White Female (1992) American Psycho (2000) Prozac Nation (2001) Monster (2003) Gia (1998) Betty Blue (1986) Fatal Attraction (1987)

I really liked Girl, Interrupted but not because of it's accuracy. I just enjoy Winona and Angelina in general.

I loved girl, interrupted... The movie was so good. I read the book after and really connected with it.

Silver Linings Playbook deals with bipolar directly in the lead male, but I would argue that the lead female character shows a lot of BPD traits, and she talks about medications that she's been on. I related to that movie A LOT.

I feel none of the ones I've seen are accurate.
I don't like watching films about mental health issues anyway I find them cringeworthy a lot of the time. I guess BPD is too varied a disorder to be betrayed in a medium like film but this is just my opinion and I don't care to debate it. |
