Exquisite photography highlights this intriguing, well-acted, albeit complicated, 2005 film in which a psychiatrist (Aaron Eckhart), who is haunted by his past growing up with his parents (Nick Nolte and Jessica Lange), begins working with another therapist (William Hurt) at a mental institution in Hudson, New York, to treat disturbed patients (Alan Cumming, Michael Moriarty, Vera Farmiga, Bill Bellamy, Cynthia Stevenson, et al.) and finds himself particularly drawn to an elderly patient (Ian McKellen) who knew his father and attracted to a duplicitous botanist (Brittany Murphy) doing research for a magazine article.
