The Five of Me

About This Movie

The Five of Me is a fascinating exploration of identity and the fragility of the human mind. Henry Hawksworth is a deeply troubled character, grappling with his multiple personalities, each vividly distinct in their own right. There's Dana, who seeks a normal life, and then there's Johnny, whose violent tendencies create real tension. The film's pacing has a slow burn quality that amplifies the psychological stakes, drawing the viewer into Henry's chaotic world. The performances are anchored by a palpable sense of despair and urgency, and the practical effects used to visualize his internal struggle are surprisingly effective for a TV movie. It’s a unique piece of 80s television that delves into themes of love, loss, and the complexity of self.
