How did this movie get rated 8.7 of out 10. It's terrible. Wooden acting, hackneyed plot w/unattractive, improbable characters, inept directing, and the slowest pacing outside of watching paint dry.
Improbable characters seeking therapy for a communal dream are a psychiatrist (who believes in taking her traumatized patients on a junket to war torn Iraq), a black homosexual stud, a reformed porn star actress, a mute artist, a Mister Everyman, and an Islamic jihadist. Don't see many jihadists seeking therapy. In general, I don't think they're that introspective. Sounds like fun? It isn't thanks to the above flaws.
Favorite line - psychiatrist to jihadist, "I don't think joining a terror group is the answer to your problems", delivered by the actress without a trace of irony.
Based on 8.7 rating at the time, I rented this movie. IMDb owes me $4.99.
I suspect the director's friends and the cast and crew are responsible for the favorable ratings. Don't be fooled this movie is terrible.
