My Dad Can't Be Crazy... Can He?

About This Movie

So, 'My Dad Can't Be Crazy... Can He?' from '89 dives into some really heavy stuff. You’ve got this teenage kid who’s grappling with the messy reality of having a schizophrenic father. The film's tone is pretty somber, like it’s always hovering in this cloud of tension. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, almost mirroring the chaotic nature of the father’s mental state. It’s not flashy; rather, it leans on raw performances that really get under your skin. The practical effects are minimal, but they don’t need to be overdone here. It’s more about the emotional landscape than anything else. Definitely a unique exploration of family and mental illness.
