"
The story takes place in Hollywood, and revolves around Dr. Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey). Most of Carter's patients are luminaries in the film industry, each undergoing their own life crisis. Carter lives in a large, luxurious house overlooking the Hollywood Hills, and has published a hugely successful self-help book. However, Carter is disheveled, and he is frequently seen alone in his large house. He smokes marijuana at home, in his car, and behind his office when not seeing patients. Carter routinely drinks himself to sleep around his house, waking up in his clothes. He never enters his bedroom.Despite his own problems, Carter continues psychotherapy with his patients, maintaining his incisiveness, compassion, and strong doctor-patient relationships."
A good independent film to watch on a slow day, it might make you laugh but it will also make you think. Kevin Spacy is awesome I enjoyed his performance a lot and hope to see him in more independent films like this. The supporting cast wasn't all that bad either especially Robin Williams and Keke Palmer. Those two did the best out of the supporting cast because their acting was so natural. I do like the character development present in the film but towards the end everything seems so rushed. Thus I enjoyed almost everything but the ending which could have been a lot better. Its still a good movie to watch.
3/5
