When I read the synopsis of this film, I was intrigued, but sadly it didn't meet my expectations in any way. The first half failed to capture my attention with its slow narrative, unrealistic characters and their actions. Eventhough the main theme of the misunderstanding between "mentally ill" people (bipolar + Alzheimers) and normal people is a good plot, I thought that it could have been explored much better, because we actually don't get any clear explanation of their relationships, which makes watching this film a bit confusing. The whole flow of "Affection" seems out of place with its sudden cuts and on the other hand long shots. But in my opinion the biggest issue is that the first half is just not captivating enough for viewers to keep watching the second half.
