What You Need To Know:
SHRINK has an interesting story that sounds better on paper than it feels in execution. Plot points pop in and out with little care for cohesion. Several of the final revelations are immensely contrived, with no setup to deliver a satisfying payoff. The film portrays a very dismal, humanist world where redemption is scarce but nudity and foul language are aplenty. Characters who have no reason to swear do so just because they can. Casual conversations will result in a dozen obscenities. SHRINK also has several instances of upper male and female nudity, in addition to a few implied sexual situations. The world here is very dismal with no hint of redemption of any kind, from God or otherwise.
