An interesting look at the boundaries, fantasy and reality within and outside of the therapy room
For Claire Roth, an established psychotherapist, her new patient - Jody Goodman, a young filmmaker - is a welcome diversion from her predictable life. Jody, successful, yet uncertain, is disarmed by Claire's interest and approval. Gradually, the lines between friendship and family, between love and compulsion, start to blur. In a Country of Mothers is a transfixing psychological thriller, that forces us to confront our own judgments about sanity, danger and desire.
