Tender Loving Care

About This Movie

Tender Loving Care, from 1994, is an odd blend of drama and thriller that feels like a fever dream. The story centers around a hair restoration doctor whose charm is aided by fresh nurses, but the tension escalates when a jilted ex, played by the director, seeks revenge. Rhonda Shear's role as the dominatrix girlfriend adds a quirky layer to this already bizarre narrative. There's a certain playful absurdity to the characters and their interactions, creating an atmosphere that’s both unsettling and oddly humorous. The pacing is uneven, sometimes dragging but often punctuated by sudden, jarring moments that keep you guessing. It's the practical effects and the peculiar performances that really make it stand out.
