The stories can require psychological excavation, an undertaking performed literally by Dr. Trabulous (Tony Shalhoub), a cantankerous psychologist who analyzes Sandie (Jim Gaffigan). As Dr. Trabulous discovers, Sandie has buried his rage inside himself, a stark contrast to the brooding Satish (Sharat Saxena), a hired security goon who externalizes his anger.Bearing one’s own grief, the filmmakers suggest, is a recipe for violence: a personal distillation...
