When it comes to romantic drama, classics like “The Notebook” and “Pride and Prejudice” often dominate the conversation (understandably so) However, newer gems are sometimes overshadowed by these beloved works One such work is “Words on a Toilet Wall,” which focuses carefully on a serious topic while demonstrating a unique and heartwarming sense of humor

I would argue that this romantic drama deserves its place among the best in the genre; with excellent audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, it has already proven its worth in the entertainment arena, and because of its raw emotion and two strong leads It is a film that stands out for its raw emotion and two strong leads

Even better, Words on the Toilet Wall is currently available on the best free streaming services If you haven't seen it yet, see why this romantic drama is perfect for long fall nights

In the mood for an emotional and sweet movie? The Words on the Bathroom Wall is just that The film's protagonist is Adam (Charlie Plummer), a high school student who lives with schizophrenia His journey becomes more complicated when he starts a new school and meets a classmate, Maya (Taylor Russell), who becomes an important part of his life and the two become attracted to each other

While “Words on the Bathroom Wall” features a sweet romance between Adam and Maya, the film never loses touch with its serious themes At the heart of the story is Adam's struggle with schizophrenia and how he deals with the hallucinatory figures that appear in his life These hallucinations are imbued with multiple characters who represent different parts of Adam's mental health struggles

The beauty of this romantic drama lies in its honest depiction of a pathology rarely portrayed through romance Plummer and Russell give performances that bring their characters to life, creating one of the most endearing and sweet romances seen in the genre in recent years Moreover, their interactions are truly sweet and genuine: two teenagers trying to understand each other

However, I must be honest about the ending--it falls into the typical “Hollywood” trap of tying everything up neatly and overly optimistically Despite the difficulty of tying up all the loose ends, the talented cast and heartfelt approach make this an enjoyable teen drama

I'm not alone in my high praise of the film, given its 94% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes Critics also gave it a very respectable score of 89%, and ABC Radio's Alexandra Heller-Nicholas wrote, “‘Words on the Toilet Wall’ is a moving, well-intentioned film and a noble effort to tackle a subject that has been widely treated badly in the past”

Meanwhile, Alex Bentley of CultureMap has honed in on the acting: “‘Words on the Bathroom Wall’ surpasses the average teenage movie with great performances throughout” And this is something I very much agree with

If you are a fan of romance dramas, “Words on Bathroom Walls” is available on Amazon Freevee and should be at the top of your watch list Yes, you don't need a subscription to experience this touching story It's not a perfect movie, but it tugs at the heartstrings without straying too far from mental health

I also want to commend Walton Goggins and his performance as Adam's anxious stepfather He is a complex character, embodying the frustration and emotional toll that mental illness takes on a family Even when he tries to be compassionate, one can't help but feel some discomfort And it all comes down to the fact that Goggins is a great actor (as evidenced in “Fallout”)
