Therapy

'Therapy' is an interesting endeavor in combining a sense of suspense and thrill with drama, and perhaps even a suggestion of romance. The same is achieved by a glimpse into a single morning in the life of two characters, Erin and James. At a difficult point in their relationship, the two are striving to make it work.

Despite their absolute inability to find even a smattering of patience, ease or kindness when it comes to the other one, the two are still headed out for a couple’s therapy session. It is through their many disagreements and heated exchanges that the viewer is taken deeper into their world.

Matters come to a head as past grievances resurface, fresh wounds are opened and festering feelings make their presence felt. Tensions continue to rise until a brutal event sticks its head out. It is in the weaving of these several elements that we are introduced to a sincere voice of a filmmaker, which might be hesitant and unsure and only coming into its own, but is determined to make itself heard vis-à-vis its storytelling. Consequently, it leaves one with the welcome prospect of finding out what it will eventually turn out to be once it has found its footing in the realm of filmmaking.
