This is the first review I am writing on this Blog. I watched the movie Shrink and wanted to make some notes about it
Good points: The movie talks about how people are unable to cope with difficulties and hard times in life on their own so they have to rely on the help of others who have gone through similar experiences. This only happens naturally because when struck by grief one often gets abandoned by your former friends and has to change company in favour of those who can better relate to their situation. The main character lost his wife to suicide but found a new friend in a schoolgirl who lost her mother under similar circumstances. The movie is slowly paced, which is appropriate given the subject. The irony of the situation is that the main character is a psychotherapist and that has to advice other people how to deal with their problems, while he has difficulties coping with his own. In the end - the lighter side of life prevails, and the characters are able to move on with their lives.
My rating – 7/10. Recommended.
