Melissa McCarthy plays a famous author who hates herself and her work Bobby Cannavale is in physical pain, which he battles into submission, and then some, with the opioids to which he’s addicted Regina Hall plays a woman who’s outwardly conciliatory but snaps when she feels attacked. She cedes much of the running time to them, to allow us to see why they’re begging for help. Meanwhile, Masha appears spookily assured. The show seems at first like a fight, and not a fair one: The patients, whom we see in spiky, startlingly direct conversation with one another as hallucinations and mistrust take hold, are all broken. The need to be well outweighs the fear of harm.
Those in her care don’t deeply mind that this extends well beyond what they initially agreed to.
There’s a fire in Kidman’s eyes when she explains to her charges the revolutionary possibilities of her treatment. Masha’s retreat has rules against contacting the outside, and against substance use - at least, the use of substances not administered by Masha or her deputies (played by Tiffany Boone and Manny Jacinto).
