  Sybil Movie Review at Hollywood Video
But her performance as Sybil showed her range, and her skill as an actress is what elevates this material above standard made-for-TV junk of the time (out of a slew of TV movies in the 1970s, only Sybil, Trilogy of Terror, and Stephen Speilberg's Duel still have legs).
In a lovely montage, we see a variety of Sybil's paintings, while a friend from the college explains how the Sybil she knew was well-adjusted and compassionate to the core.
Sybil is a dark story told in the cheery light of day, with only the occasional flashback to alarm us, and to illustrate the horrendous childhood that led to her mental breakdown, or build-up, as the case may be.

  Off The Shelf - "Sybil"
Sybil Dorsett, commonly known only by her first name, to this day remains one of the greatest documented cases of multiple personality disorder (MSD) in the psychology field.
Due to the years that Dr. Wilbur spent with Sybil and the huge collections of data and psycho-analysis information that she collected on her, it was Sybil's case that brought about a revolution in the psychology field - and spawned revelations on the idea of "I" ("id") and theological discussion as well.
It opens with one of Sybil's "awakenings," that is the re-claiming of her body by her "waking self." Lost in an industrial area of Philly (though not yet aware of this), she finds her way back home in New York City and once again to her friend and psychologist, Dr. Wilbur.

 Sybil : the true story of a woman possessed by sixteen separate personalities
Sybil gives a reader a new appreciation for every day life and the little things humans take for granted such as having a fully functional memory, being able to connect with another human being without fear, functioning in society, or even planning out a full day knowing that it will be carried out normally.
Sybil, like her parents, is at first resistant to this treatment, largely because of her parents objections and her religion, but decides that it is what would be best for her mentally, thus she chooses to participate.
Sybil is a remarkable book in the sense that it is an individual and unique story of a woman who has survived unthinkable traumas by creating her own society of family and friends inside herself.
