The plot is simple and well tried - a group of seemingly unconnected people become connected for good or for bad by means of a common denominator - in this case Kevin Spacey, who is a 'Shrink to the Stars'; but... Read more
At least a movie who is different... 1h40 of feelings, good or bad, with great acting... This movie reminds me about Lost in Translation, where the story line was just here to create an atmosphere and a very special mood... The... Read more
I saw this film twice. Oddly enough, each time i was able to pick up something else. Perhaps the most important thing that left a big imprint was closure and how it can be achieved, sometimes with the help of others,... Read more

A Hollywood psychiatrist, Henry Carter, is in dire need of help himself. One wonders how this pot smoking therapist could even be treating patients that are really screwed up. Not only that, he has written a book that is a 'must... Read more
Unlike last year's similarly undercirculated film chronicling the interconnecting lives of several people in the Hollywood film biz, 'What Just Happened,' 'Shrink' succeeds in dismantling the barrier between characters and audiences. The film's main character, Doctor Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey), is... Read more
