The Scarapist

This film should at least be a 6.5 on here. The movie didn't drag out like a lot of other thriller movies i've seen of late and the ending was really unexpected. The insane therapist has some real talent and I'm hoping we see more of her. Mabye a part 2 soon?

Not a traditional film. Groundbreaking in its approaches. A mosaic of moments that make up trauma and suspense. Excellent performances from Jeanne Marie Spicuzza and R. Michael Gull. Harkens German Expressionism and late Italian Neorealism. A combination of silent, noir and art house. Holds attention to the end.

I honestly didn't know about the statistics about bad therapists until I saw this film. It was really eye opening. Having the film then show us how bad it can get by sharing this true story was very effective. It's good when films are more than just entertainment but they also are trying to educate. It was effective in both.

For somebody who does see a therapist weekly and then watching this, it freaked me out a bit. Brilliant acting and some of the scenes were really well produced including the ending. It's a indie film but they got the emotions and storyline right. T.

This movie is showing up in my feeds, so despite the release date, it caught my attention. Now I can see why. It's definitely original. I was actually surprised by the maturity and depth of the performances, especially Spicuzza. The music and and visual look of the film drew me in and held me there. Looking forward to more work by this director.
