About
"A quiet, unsettling study in manipulation"
Based on a true story, this dark comedy follows a mild-mannered businessman who starts seeing a charismatic psychiatrist after a personal crisis, only for the doctor to gradually insert himself into every corner of his patient's life, finances, and relationships over decades. Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd play against type in a slow-burn character study that trades broad laughs for quiet, squirming discomfort. It's less funny than the genre label suggests, more a patient portrait of manipulation and codependency, carried almost entirely by two committed lead performances rather than plot twists or momentum.
the against-type performances from Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd carry every uncomfortable scene.
you want genuine comedy rather than a slow, cringe-inducing true story of manipulation.
