This moving film is called Canvas and it features Joe Pantoliano (of Soprano’s fame), Marcia Gay Harden and young up-and-coming actor Devon Gearhart. The movie is an intimate view inside the life of a family living with schizophrenia. The mother (Harden’s character) has the brain disorder in the film and the story is loosely based on the life of director Joseph Greco, whose own mother had schizophrenia.
