Regression 2015

     The setting of this story is in Minnesota of 1990.  Detective Bruce Kenner is investigating the case of 17-year-old Angela Gray.  She has made accusations against her father, she has left the family home and she is living in a local church.  Dr. Kenneth Raines is a psychologist and he is brought in to talk to Angela’s father John Gray. 

     There are a lot of times when there is heavy rain in this film.  There is also a lot of darkness and murkiness too.  Many times this film seems ridiculous and the ending is not satisfying either.  I wanted to ask someone if I could have 106 minutes back of my life that I spent watching this film.  2* (I didn't like this movie)
