Brain on Fire

“It's not supposed to happen. Be prepared when it does.”

Susannah Cahalan (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young reporter at the New York Post, starts hearing voices and has seizures she cannot explain. Gerard Barrett adapts her memoir, following the weeks in which her thinking comes apart faster than anyone around her can name it. Her boyfriend Stephen (Thomas Mann) and her father Tom (Richard Armitage) keep showing up beside her, trying to reach someone who is slipping away.
