Bad Psychiatrist

A great idea for these crazy times we live in, a navigation from one distorted situation to an improbable relationship. Friendship is the heart of this surrealist voyage mocking psychiatry in a smart and simple way. Deambulation in LA from streets to parks where the two main characters's offbeat dialogs gives a an original tone to this indy movie written, directed and starring Andras Ostrom. The film, like doctor Dr. Nauberger, the psychiatrist, has ups downs, some sequences are silly, others dramatic, leading to a more emotional journey of a father figure (Dr. Nauberger) drifting in a time and place where he obviously doesn't fit.

This was such a funny, endearing, and creative movie! In the sea of sequels and carbon-copy superhero movies of today, this movie is a welcome breath of fresh air.

There is nothing like it out there right now. The humor was so unexpectedly charming and unique. But the film is also deeply human and heartwarming as it depicts the complexities of relationships, mental illness, and houselessness.

The film moves seamlessly between surreal, humorous scenarios and explorations of modern plights: social media-induced anxiety, the generational technology gap, and life transitioning out of the pandemic.

If you are looking for relatable and human cinema - Bad Psychiatrist is an excellent choice!

I thoroughly enjoyed this thought-provoking, quirky little movie! The "psychiatrist" is a particularly engaging and endearing character and you find yourself rooting for him. I found the story line to be a refreshing change of pace! The main character is empathetic, caring and relatable, a quality one looks for and often fails to experience in a mental health professional. This movie deserves recognition and success, and perhaps a following for any future sequels, which I personally would welcome. Kudos to the creator and all of the cast members for this impressive film and best wishes to all.

This movie is infused with gentle humor and is highly satisfying with an uplifting conclusion (a.k.a. "happy end"). I especially enjoyed the outstanding performance of Dario Musso, who is incredibly amusing as a wanna-be psychiatrist. No matter what weird situations he was getting himself into, I couldn't help but root for him. I gave the movie nine stars only because the background of the "bad psychiatrist" character was not hashed out to my satisfaction; like, why is he homeless? Why is his daughter not letting him move in with her? But I guess this was less important than the friendship of the "psychiatrist" and the college kid, who had his own issues. I also liked that the California vibe was more realistic than your typical Hollywood movie, which would usually be all glamor but no substance. On the whole, I would recommend this independent film to people who enjoy intelligent comedies.

This is a low-budget movie, but they did well with the resources they had...

I really liked the opening scene with the first patient and doctor; the surroundings were laughable. I enjoyed it so much that I couldn't stop laughing at the social media tagging scene. Craig's scenes were so funny, especially the fancy pill container scene. Also, Craig's scenes at the wrong address in the park were hilarious. The first half is hilariously funny; the second half lags a little but has heartwarming and laughable scenes...little film that surprised me far more than I expected. It's an comedy film,funny,and in a way it sticks with you.
