Helen Brindle's childless marriage bears no traces of happiness, and the somber woman has also lost her faith in God. Liberation from the emotional trap of gloomy thoughts and insomnia has its price, however, when it one day appears in the person of charismatic psychologist Edward Gluck.

51st KVIFF – Somehow, I’m not lucky with the films from the main competition of the film festival. Once again, I came across a very unbalanced story, which begins as a solid psychological drama and ends as a love story of two people. Even though the psychological part of the movie started in a very interesting way. And although Martina Gedeck’s character couldn’t express many feelings and emotions from the beginning, she eventually began to really get it.But at that moment it was no longer a philosophical drama, but rather a romantic triangle with no way out. The second half of the movie was very boring and it got better only at the very end, which didn’t manage to save the movie at that point. However, the doctor’s method for testing individual philias on his own body and the following detox were interesting. But I’m not sure if humor even fits into a story like this, because the ending sure didn’t help.

51st KVIFF - A decent entry to the main competition, I’d say. Likeable performances and dialogues that sometimes bring a smile. 6/10
