Today in this episode of Movie Snippets, I am going to recommend you the movie Loco Por Ella.

A decent rom-com about a journalist after a one-night stand goes in search of the woman he met with. He gets to know that she lives in a private care centre for people with mental illness and wants to join her to know about her and her story. He wants the connection to sustain while she doesn’t give him any chance to leave the facility until signed off by the doctors.

It’s quite a take on how far you can go for love. The movie also is a huge lesson on mental health shedding light on different kinds of illnesses.

The movie treads on a fine line where a small scene or a dialogue could go against them but as far as I’ve known and understood concepts about mental health, the movie does well to show how hard it is for people struggling to cope with the world around them because the majority of the world who think they are sane don’t have an iota of information about the person who is going through a condition for which at times they have no literal control.

It is a very quirky take on a rom-com but with creating awareness about mental health stigma and how little we know about them.

Please watch the movie and let me know what you felt about it in the comments section.
