The Appointment

Recommended by

  • George Sapio: The Appointment

    Powerful piece of work. A troubled teen and a capable shrink do battle, revealing a little of what the problems seem to be. Just a little, but enough to make change, get a small handle on a world of hurt. You can't help cheering for both of them. The dialogue is handled with truth; no magic bullets here, just a glimpse of what it takes to discover someone's reasons for doing what they did. I'd love to sit in on a second session.
