...sound. Scenes are diced until they lose all comic momentum. The cast moves like clubfooted puppets; they would be more fun if they had been photographed watching the Weather Channel. Beyond Therapy also suffers from something like pestilential bad timing. It is, after all, the story of a bisexual guy waffling between his mistress and his male lover.

...character's twisted levels of reality. His abrupt facial shifts from genial daddy to iron-jawed psycho are scary as hell--the expressions of contained violence, forced cheer, and wistful longing that flicker through this dude's eyes would shame many a Max Factor model. This guy really wants a happy family, and you see it in his face as he pitifully watches happy neighbors prancing around their lawns.
