Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

(Flash Review)Would the art world have Van Gogh's Starry Night or any of his expressionistic works had he been medicated for his bipolar disorder? One story line of the film is does medication limit human's exceptional creativity? The other story line is can or should two people with manic depressive disorder be in a relationship? Do they end up hurting each other more than helping themselves succeed in the world? This film tries to paint a picture of how that may play out. It shows the manic emotions in many positive ways through creativity or exuberant glee and then shows the negative ways through irrational and dangerous behaviors. The male is against medication as he loves his creative manic side while the female feels it is probably the best for their lives. The two central character's parents play a key role in doing their best to help their adult children be safe and healthy. The film had very good and emotional acting supported by pretty good cinematography while the pacing and screenplay could have been improved a little for a tighter final polish.

Two bipolar patients meet in a psychiatric hospital and begin a romance that brings out all of the beauty and horror of their condition. Although the acting is fine and sure it tries to tell a story of it's own unfortunately the pacing of the film is terrible and it's something that we have seen multiple times threw out the years with 2 patients falling in love, dying or even getting better in the process there are hundred of better films out there with the same plot with better acting, actors, story and direction too bad that this isn't one of them tho. I'll Touched with Fire a solid 5 out of 10 and it's really sad that Katie Holmes didn't do anything great after Batman Begins she isn't as bad as some people make her sound she's actually an alright actress.

Touched With Fire, definitely not an easy watch at times, tells the story of two young poets falling in love while battling bipolar disorder. The cinematography can only be described as breathtaking, and the same could be said about the soundtrack. This film was truly a joy for the eyes and the ears. Katie Holmes and Luke Kirby were fantastic as the two patients, poets, lovers. The only thing that felt a bit off was the story - it felt slightly confusing at times, maybe moving a little fast?It might have felt like something was missing from the story, but the honesty and realness made up for it. Definitely worth the watch - while being a visual treat, Touched With Fire also opened my eyes to completely new aspects of mental illness.

Touched With Fire is a story based on the real life story of the director,Paul Dalio, ironically I think this is the reason why the movie seems to wrap up so neatly. From the point of view of the film, manic-depressive is something certain people have that make them express emotion on a deeper level. It does not come off as dangerous at all in the film considering the film is about two poets who suffer form itThe movie is not convincing at ail that it's dangerous to be guided by your emotions, on one level it seems like that's exactly what the filmmaker wants you to take away, but certain points in the film make me uncertain.One point that does come across really well is the idea that two people who seem so right for each other, are in fact the exact opposite. It's a great strangely done romantic comedy about two people who are fighting the world alone, until they found each other. It was very passionate.Katie Holmes was good in the movie too.But it still bothers me that the movie does a lackluster job in having a firm foot on the illness these two carry. Weather positive or negative, I did not get the point.
