Wow, that sounds very, very good for the portrayal of mental state. The truth of what you say and the film describes: that you can be functional and even happy and yet still drawn to end things--this I know from people close to me.
we see just as well the interest and humor and affection, the quickness of thought that never deserts him even when it's spiraling down unhelpful grooves. It's more believable than if he were unrelievedly demoralized; it's more unstable because neither we nor he know which way in a crisis he will literally jump. --exactly that.
And the difference between THAT and a person who kills out of aggrieved privilege is so big. I like that this film lifts that up. The people with aggrieved privilege--they're the ones to fear.
