(USA, 2010, 57 min., color, DVD, NR) Unlisted: A Story of Schizophrenia is a soul-searching examination into the nature of responsibility—of parents and children, of physicians and patients, of society and citizens towards those afflicted with severe mental illness. As Delaney tries to rebuild her relationship with her father, Unlisted examines the challenging family dynamics that mental illness dictates. As she works to overcome the obstacles to getting her dad appropriate treatment, the film exposes the failings of the American mental health system as experienced by the families trying to navigate it. And as Delaney traces the progression of Richard’s illness she studies his medical files and reads beautifully animated scenes from his autobiographical surrealist novel. Here Unlisted enters the inner life of Richard Ruston with a clarity and affection missing from many films about people with mental illness. –unlistedfilm.com “..An affecting film, delightful despite the darkness of its subject, it has an unforgettable character at its center. The production’s homemade, slightly tentative quality only strengthens its authenticity.” Judy Lightfoot, Crosscut.com, 6/9/2009
