| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
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.
