Movies
Movies about caring for a loved one stir a special empathy and connection, often inviting us to chuckle and tear up with the films’ characters. Here, I list one top caregiving movies that highlight the strength and love that flourish when life takes an unexpected turn. Silver Linings Playbook (2012) .
Pat Solitano, Jr. (Bradley Cooper) was admitted to a mental health facility for bipolar disorder. His mother decided to take her son home against medical advice and without her husband’s knowledge. The couple faced difficulties dealing with their son’s mental illness, until a girl, Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), who was also battling a mental illness (depression), showed up in Pat’s life.
