Review of Thanks for Sharing (2013) by Lyn — 31 Oct 2014

Some subjects are a natural for a "relatable" movie, but sexual addiction isn't one of them. While "Shame" took a graphic, disturbing approach and "Don Jon" went for laughs, this one aims for a middle ground of angst plus lots of ensemble-cast melodrama that educates us on the travails of this "disease.

" (As they refer to it; maybe "disorder" would be more accurate?) Mark Ruffalo is never bad, and I also rooted for the hapless dweeby doctor, but Tim Robbins's character is creepy throughout.

Pink is great; very natural. I think there are some insights here about the nature of addiction, but you may feel things are resolved a little too neatly.
