An enjoyable, engaging, and endearing debut project from writer/director/actor Andras Ostrom, Bad Psychiatrist follows an aspiring therapist, Dr. Nauberger, who himself struggles with mental health. The personal growth - and hilarity - that ensues when he links up with psychology student Greg are worth the watch! Bad Psychiatrist is a comedic - but not un-serious - look into the world of mental health struggles and the difficult life circumstances that can often arise from them. The feature-length film (~1 hr. 25 mins.) unpacks such complex themes as homelessness, friendship, family, reciprocity in relationships, career aspirations, and more, but does so in a funny and off-beat way which makes it enjoyable to watch. Although Bad Psychiatrist is an independent film, the production value is high, the acting is of a good quality, and the writing is engaging. I look forward to more projects from Ostrom, and the rest of the cast!
