Overview
Inspired by the true story of Marty and the therapist who turned his life around...then took it over. When he first meets Dr. Ike, Marty just wants to get better at boundaries. Over 30 years, he'll learn all about them—and what happens when they get crossed.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow, agonizing portrait of how trust can be weaponized: watch a vulnerable man become gradually entangled in a parasitic relationship with his therapist over three decades. The horror lies not in sudden violence but in the creeping recognition of how thoroughly one person can colonize another's life.
