The Restless

The audience's emotional responses are heavily influenced by the film's portrayal of a couple grappling with bipolar disorder. High Empathy is evoked for both Damien, as he navigates his illness, and Leila, as she supports him through the challenges. Sadness and Anxiety are prominent due to the unpredictable nature of the disorder and the constant struggle for stability. A sense of Melancholy pervades the narrative, reflecting the somber reality of their situation. Despite the difficulties, underlying Love and Hope for a better future provide emotional depth, while moments of Anger and Fear highlight the raw emotional toll on the characters.
