7/1/2023 0 Comments The Ghost Shrink, the Accidental Gigolo, & the Poltergeist Ac... by Vivi Andrews![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One actress who does create a free-standing character is Keke Palmer (Jemma), mourning her mother, finding refuge in the movie revivals she attends as a form of escape. These characters are intriguing in their own ways, especially when we sense Williams restraining himself from bolting headlong into his descriptions of sexual improbabilities, but each one is essentially a walk-on act, and even when their lifelines cross it seems an event in the screenplay, not their lives. Dallas Roberts plays Patrick, an agent driven by hyperactive compulsions Patrick's assistant Daisy ( Pell James), is preggers Shamus ( Jack Huston), an Irish actor who is an alcoholic just for starters, and the actress Kate ( Saffron Burrows), is a trophy wife who finds her husband's trophy shelf is not yet complete. We meet a movie star past his sell-by date ( Robin Williams, unbilled), who thinks his problem is sex addiction, although Henry assures him it is alcoholism (the sex addict's running mate). What director Jonas Pate and his writer, Thomas Moffett, do is sidestep deep characterization and bring in a rather conventional assortment of clients for Spacey's shrink, named Henry Carter. ![]()
