I dont normally write movie reviews, but after seeing The Parker Sessions I had to make an exception. I first saw The Parker sessions at Macabre Faire film festival and was immedietly engrossed. The film follows Parker, a young girl dealing with emotional turmoil becuase of her disturbing past. So she seeks out help from a counselor to help stop her night terrors.
Sometimes films involving therapy sessions and mental health can feel cliche and overdone but that was not the case with this film. Rachell seans performance was raw and real. And the cat and mouse scenes between her and Danny James(counselor) were fun and intriguing to watch. Especially as the film goes on and things start to unravel in an unexpexted and wild way.
The writing was smart, and the black and white cinemetography was beautiful and captivating. Overall the film is a great watch with a wild payoff at the end. And for Stephen King Simmons first feature film, im impressed and cant wait to see what he does next!
