SUMMARY
 |
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 exposé 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.
