What happens when the people we count on to hold us together... are barely holding it together themselves? Jonas Pate's Shrink is a striking fast-paced expos'' of the other Hollywood featuring folks living outside their comfort zone and the people who put them there. Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey) is a psychiatrist with an A-list clientele including a once-famous actress (Saffron Burrows) an insecure young writer (Mark Webber) and a comically obsessive-compulsive superagent (Dallas Roberts). Henry is not in a good place however. He has been asked to take his first pro... bono case a troubled teenage girl from a neighborhood far from the Hollywood hills. Considering his present state of mind is he ready for the real-life troubles of a young woman who loves the world of movies he has become so jaded by? At its core Shrink is a study of control and our endless need for it even when it grows increasingly impossible to obtain. Writer Thomas Moffett uses classic archetypes in this modern Hollywood tale but never pushes them over the edge of credibility. Performed by a well-matched cast at the top of their form the result is both satisfying and exhilarating. Watching Shrink makes us feel like voyeurs looking through a window into the lives of people who look great feel worse and end up behaving badly. [show more]
