Like Pulling Teeth Like Pulling Teeth

The Secret Lives of Dentists

Director: Alan Rudolph

Cast: Campbell Scott, Denis Leary, Robin Tunney

Seemingly happily married dentist couple – living in a nice place, successful, three young daughters – find their lives turned dramatically around when he spots her with another man and tries to figure out what to do.

Rudolph’s powerful drama takes us on a complex journey that veers from fantasy to reality and into strange behaviour and violence.

The performances help sustain the tension.

Star Rating: 4/5
