The combination of styles here can be a bit confusing, discombobulating even, as the pace gathers in this quirky assessment of the effects of schizophrenia on members of their families, but I think it still works quite effectively. Using differing artistic and real-time techniques, we begin with behaviour that is more unusual before descending into more of a maelstrom that lacks much by way of rationale, balance or reason. Jonathan Hodgson has chosen a tricky topic for his work. There is quite a fine line that has to be drawn - artistically and figuratively - and I think he manages to craft something that does illustrate the difficulties faced by those on the periphery of this illness, without over-dramatising but by simply presenting us with a slowly deteriorating scenario for us to interpret on our own terms. I can't say that I loved this, but it is a brave effort to tackle a sensitive subject and it is worth a few minutes of your time
