DISCLAIMER: We are not mental health/health care professionals. Not even close. Any and all descriptions, assessments, etc. are pure speculation based on our personal research & experiences. Take anything we say with a tremendous grain of salt. Welp, you've probably guessed: This week we are talking about Silent Fall from 1994. It stars Richard Dreyfuss as a bad shrink and generally lousey guy and J.T. Walsh as a cop, plus introduces Liv Tyler to movie audiences!

Hoo boi, this one's a doozy. Strap in.
