The current trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard got me interested in this movie of Depp's from the early '90s. Jeremiah S. Chechik's "Benny & Joon" casts Depp as an eccentric artist who falls for a schizophrenic woman (Mary Stuart Masterson).
The questionable part of the movie will probably be the depiction of schizophrenia. Personally, I don't know how schizophrenic people behave. I can only say that Depp and Masterson put on some great performances, with fine support from Aidan Quinn and Julianne Moore. It's a movie that everyone should see at least once. If nothing else, it can draw attention to the issue of schizophrenia. Definitely check it out.
