Shrink (2009)
Kevin Spacey stars in this LA based film with a supporting cast including Saffron Burrows and an uncredited Robin Williams. A number of interconnected characters orbit round psychologist Henry Carter who is trying to deal with his wife's suicide.
My problem with this film is I am not sure what story if any it is telling. There are some interesting characters who all have problems but these issues are rarely looked at in any detail and for the large part go unexplained. If there is any core to the film it is dealing with the loss of a loved one to suicide but even then when the title character finally gets over his loss it does not appear to be for any specific reason and offers little insight for the viewer.
3/5 not a bad watch but it goes nowhere and says nothing.
