Merci Docteur Rey! on AllMovie

Andrew Litvack's farce Merci Docteur Rey stars Stanislas Merhar as Thomas, a young man who is just starting to embrace his homosexuality as his opera singer mother (Dianne Wiest) visits. Answering an intriguing personal ad, Thomas hides in a closet and sees a murder. Unsure what to do next, he makes an appointment with a psychiatrist and reveals everything. The real doctor has died, however, and the person he has told about the murder is another patient. A prank phone call convinces Thomas' mother that he has been kidnapped. Thomas eventually learns that he was closer to the murderer and the victim than he ever knew. Merci Docteur Rey was screened at the In Mill Valeey Film Festival.
