            Sam (McGregor) is a psychiatrist. His girlfriend Lila (Watts) is an artist who once attempted suicide. Henry (Gosling) is a disturbed college student, currently Sam’s reluctant patient.

            The more disturbed Henry becomes, the more Sam questions his own grasp on reality. It seems that Henry can see into the future, and sees dead people. I have a feeling it’s going to end like Sixth Sense – Sam is really Henry and they’re both dead, or something like that.

            Whatever. It’s atmospheric and suspenseful and, of course, well-acted.
