Clinical (2017)
5/10
Decent until the end...

Warning: Spoilers
This movie actually started out pretty decent. One of the scenes in the first few minutes caught my attention and I was ready to settle in and enjoy a good psychological thriller.

The premises is that Jane, a psychiatrist, specializes in patients with traumatic experiences and when she has a traumatic experience of her own at the hands of one of her patients, she decides to take on more easier patients at the advise of her own psychiatrist. That is, until Alex comes along. He is a man who suffered a horrible car accident and is severely disfigured. He has had a few reconstructive surgeries and now he no longer recognizes himself. She agrees to see him and in the process, the events of her past experience begins to haunt her more and more and she quits making any progress of her own.

Now if I say any more, I will give up the "twist" of the movie. Yes, there's a twist and although I didn't necessarily see it coming, once it was revealed, the movie somehow took a turn for the worst. I don't know what happened in the last 30 minutes, but it didn't go with the flow rest of the movie. It became somewhat unrealistic and almost laughable in a bad way.
