Lathe of Heaven (2002) (TV)

Synopsis: A man has the power to change the universe - including its history - with his dreams. His psychiatrist uses him to improve his own status.
Appraisal: The plotline of this movie is interesting, making a perfectly good point about psychiatrists and therapists, adding another angle of satire to that in What About Bob? . Its development, however, suffers somewhat from the pauperism and lack of imagination that are customary in TV movies. The performances are good though. Based on a 1971 novel by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Rating: 40
