MAD TO BE NORMAL (15)
★★★★★
CONTROVERSIAL Scottish medic RD Laing (David Tennant) conducts an anti-psychiatry experiment at Kingsley Hall in London, transforming the building into a medication-free sanctuary where patients and carers live under the same roof.
His methods, which fly in the face of conceived wisdom, transform Laing into a celebrity during the 1960s and 1970s. During one lecture tour, he meets starstruck student Angie Wood (Elisabeth Moss), who becomes his lover and partner. She moves into Kingsley Hall, where her presence is seen as a threat by some of the patients, who want Laing all to themselves. This is an earnest biography of a real-life Glaswegian physician.
