Miraculously, Words on Bathroom Walls is strongly in favor of support and understanding. People diagnosed with schizophrenia (about 1 percent of the global population) need support and understanding, not vilification. Unsurprisingly, this type of sensational portrayal make things worse for people struggling with this neurological disorder. Films like Split portray individuals with schizophrenia as violent maniacs with a taste for murder. Schizophrenia has been given a truly horrifying reputation, and movies haven’t helped. With the help of the startingly presumptive valedictorian, Maya (Taylor Russell), Adam manages to keep up with his coursework – but his medication is starting to have some strange side-effects, and keeping his illness hidden from his classmates is becoming increasingly difficult… Following an incident at his high school and a diagnosis of schizophrenia, Adam finds himself on an experimental new medication and enrolled in a distant Catholic school. But life for Adam is getting more complicated by the second: Beth just brought home her new boyfriend, Paul (Walton Goggins), and more worryingly, Adam is now having alarming visual and auditory hallucinations. Adam (Charlie Plummer) and his mom, Beth (Molly Parker) have been a team since Adam’s dad took off years ago.
