Shrink


Starring Kevin Spacey and Keke Palmer, to name a few.


Mental health professionals are the people who are supposed to support the wounded. But what if they are wounded?

It tells the story of Dr. Henry Carter, a hot shot psychiatrist in L.A. whose clients includes movie stars and people from the movie business. One day he was given a pro bono case of Jena. Both Henry and Jena had lost a vital part of their lives, their loved ones. Somehow, they began to support each other.
I love the story itself, how a patient is a wake up call for her doctor. It's so good at showing how Henry is grieving by getting in drugs and not concentrating work. As well as with Jena's own grief, doing poorly in school and busted the mirror in the bathroom. There sat two very wounded people and somehow they came round.
Kevin Spacey, in my opinion, put on a terrific performance, slipping into the depressed, sad Henry Carter flawlessly. Keke Palmer also was wonderful playing the rebelous teenager Jena.
Although it used a very disturbing language, I love it anyway. Because I think it's the telling the truth about the society very honestly, that' anything can happen and the best we can do is to cope. But coping for each people may differ. In the end we shall move on. Just like Henry and Jena.
always,
hana.
