Kevin Spacey was great in this movie. I went in not knowing what to expect. It was a bit of a downer but I really enjoyed it. The characters were very likeable.

Well, this film could have been another AMERICAN BEAUTY. Spacey is excellent and moving, as are the other actors. However, the film hangs on a dubious premise, and as often the case when hollywood looks at itself, overestimates the importance of such things to the rest of the world. It's too bad; the film is in places deeply affecting, but there's something missing at the centre of the narrative. The writer and director also seemingly couldn't resist some gimmicky bits that could have been utterly irresistable if handled differently. Worth seeing for the acting, and for the parts that go straight to the heart. The cinematography is also powerful, with visual setpieces that strongly support what's going on in the story.

This movie has not one redeeming moment. Continual obscenity adds nothing to the impact of the dialogue, while it is impossible to follow a non-existent story.

The acting and the story moved me deeply. Kevin Spacey's portrayal of an eminent Hollywood psychotherapist's shows a human man whose rank and stature do not protect him from being subject to depression and despair any more than fame protects his wonderfully acted celebrity clientele from their own life wounds and humanity. Spacey is able to fully enter his character's dereliction and opposing struggle to preserve the essentials of his professional ethics. Writer Thomas Moffett creates believable interventions through means of a wise, compassionate, older psychotherapist (the Spacey character's father) and a suffering teen from a less glitzy side of town. I found the story believable till the movie's end and subtle in the way it showed the power of story to impact recovery from emotional pain. From the reviews of Shrink that I've read, I sense that many professional critics have not lived either deeply or long enough to see this film's worth or have instead chosen the safety of sitting on the fence because they saw truths in "Shrink," they were unable to explain.
