BAD THERAPY

Cinemavixion Review

"Bad Therapy" offers a darkly comedic exploration of marital strife and the perils of seeking professional help, set against the backdrop of Los Angeles. The film centers on Bob and Susan Howard, whose decision to consult marriage counselor Judy Small takes a sinister turn when her own "dark and conflicted impulses" are triggered by their dynamic. As Small subtly manipulates the couple, the narrative plunges into a psychological thriller, pushing their marriage to the brink. Anchored by strong performances from Alicia Silverstone and Rob Corddry, who inhabit their roles with a compelling blend of vulnerability and frustration, the film skillfully portrays the unraveling of a relationship under external influence. While the premise leans into the absurd, the underlying commentary on trust and manipulation resonates, making "Bad Therapy" a thought-provoking, albeit unsettling, watch.
