Psychiatrist needs a psychiatrist.

A remarkable film that captures what it is like to suffer from obsessive compulsivity and blossoming insanity.As a psychologist, I can verify that Forster plays his role to perfection, capturing the confusion of his character, a confusion that only the one time chance flip of a coin can correct.

The cast is all star and very good performances are turned in by Balk, Plummer, Sorvino and Gleason, especially by Sorvino of the long suffering sheriff.

As a road picture/slice of life film, this excels.See it and note the verbal and nonverbal characteristics of the Forster character.This film is a winner at all levels.

score 8/10
