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.
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.
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.
Don't waste your time. Pointless. Lacks a storyline. It tried hard with the deep voice 😲 but failed at its own attempt. Ridiculous.
This is another great film I've seen of late that I would never have heard of, if it wasn't for Amazon Prime recommending films like this to me. Long story short, the film is a great thriller movie and the actresses who plays the therapist was my favorite - she was convincing and really played into her character. A gem of a film if your into this psychological, thriller genre. This is easily a 8 or a 9.
