Shrink Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Cliff Doerksen
Man is born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward, and when those sparks emanate from a doobie clutched by Kevin Spacey, a smug critique of the American dream is sure to follow.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Spacey is mesmerizing as the "compassion fatigued" Carter. The pain and anger of his character are palpable, as is his heart-wrenching frustration.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
I'm not his manager, but I wonder if Kevin Spacey would profit from laying off the sardonic, disaffected, emotionally numb characters for a while. They're criminally easy for him at this point in his career.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
There really was a much better comedy here than melodrama.
San Francisco Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Some of the humor is delicious. And there are a few fine moments of truth and pathos, most of them addressing a subset of grief often ignored on film.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Directed by Jonas Pate and written with a nice ear for self-delusion by Thomas Moffet, Shrink mixes cliches with some pleasant surprises.
Washington Post
Philip Kennicott
Shrink is no worse than the average Hollywood comedy. But it shows, more obviously than most, the bankruptcy of standard-issue American pop narrative, circa 2009.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A pity-party of Hollywood narcissism.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The script by Thomas Moffett slickly satirizes the movie industry's fascination with vampires and special effects without being especially compelling or original.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
[Spacey's] good, but the film doesn't find an emotional center, and we're left with actors acting out.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Director Jonas Pate and screenwriter Thomas Moffett have turned this strongly cast, potentially smart tale of personal intersection among a mostly rarefied group of Los Angelenos into an irritating and unconvincing slog.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Jonas Pate's derivative L.A. indie brings few fresh revelations, but it does offer this insight: There is no more juice left in the strangers-connected-by-coincidence story line.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Shrink starts promisingly, but Jonas Pate directs his fine cast straight into a swamp of schmaltz as every loose thread of plot gets patly resolved.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Like smog settling over Los Angeles, a creeping sense of anomie haunts the Hollywood power players and parasites sidling nervously through Shrink.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The coincidences here are at times beyond description, the last few minutes in particular offering up a whole slew of whoppers that had me unintentionally giggling under my breath.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Ultimately too cautious for even a Valley of the Dolls insider expose. It lambasts these walking movie biz clichés, but everyone's gotta get a happy-enough ending.
Slant Magazine
Ryan Stewart
Though it never rains frogs in Shrink, the influence of Magnolia on this sprawling portrait of West L.A.'s rich-and-miserable couldn't be more pronounced.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Spacey gives his best performance since Swimming With Sharks, and Palmer, the young star of Akeelah and the Bee, has matured into an actress of depth and nuance.
