Let's be realistic.
Great Film overall
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
If you have seen New York themed movies that are enthralling, "Marathon Man" was suspenseful, but "Whispers in the Dark", is erotic and enthralling at the same time. Here you have a psychiatrist(Annabella Sciorra) who is having dreams of her own while she tends to her clients. She would meet Doug(Jamey Sheridan) who is a pilot. One of the clients, Eve(Deborah Unger) explain explicitly about her dreams to her. In one of the sessions, Eve would strip down and nearly exposes herself to the doctor. Very raw there. At the lunch scene, Dr. Ann Hecker discovered that Doug was also Eve's other lover. Dr. Hecker has a shrink, Dr. Green(Alan Alda). He has been with her since she was in medical school. He has helped her out in many ways, only to find out that he is a questionable reputation. I don't know why this movie was cut down. Some parts were on the obvious side, other than that, I enjoyed it very much. Not the best movie, but not the worst. It has a great cast though. Very watchable 2 out of 5 stars
This is a tacky, low-grade mystery film that is far better acted than most of its kind. It's about a lady psychiatrist with some really messed-up patients who gets caught up in a murder mystery when one patient becomes a suspect. Nearly all of the characters in this story are serious head cases. One hopes no major city has a preponderance of people like that. A lot of twists and turns occur in the story. A few of them are compelling, most of them improbable. Some genuinely talented actors were rounded up to appear in this film. Largely as a result, the film is watchable, but it's just as miss-able. Only die hard fans of murder mysteries will enjoy this film.
I think this movie was incredibly underrated. I thought there were many standout performances..Annabella Sciorra, Deborah Unger and Jamie Sheridan amongst others. Annabella Sciorra gives a beautifully sensitive performance. If you liked her in The Hand That Rocks The Cradle you will love her in this film. Deborah Unger is absolutely mesmerizing in her role. Her best performance ever. Jamie Sheridan is very credible as the romantic yet mysterious male lead. I thought it was beautifully directed and worked very well on many levels...suspenseful, sexy, dramatic. I thought the ending was totally unpredictable. For a 'small' film that most people have never heard of I think it was fantastic and would highly recommend it. I can never go past it when it is on cable. Must have seen in at least 15-20 times. Check it out!
Entertaining story. But hopefully it's not indicative of the world of psychiatry. Some real on-the-edge folks here. Even the police lieutenant is a ripe candidate for analysis - though to judge from the film you wonder if analysis accomplishes anything useful.For the most part good acting work put in by a first rate cast. Leave the analyzing to the movie and enjoy the ride.
