Couples Therapy(2013)

GETTING MARRIED IS EASY. STAYING MARRIED IS HARD.

Couples Therapy is a documentary that follows Caveh Zahedi as he convinces his wife Mandy and their couples therapist to allow him to film their intimate therapy sessions. What unfolds is a raw, unfiltered look at a marriage in crisis, captured in real time as the couple navigates conflict, vulnerability, and the possibility of reconciliation. By turning the camera inward, Zahedi creates an unconventional portrait of modern relationships—one that blurs the line between documentary and confession. The film is both uncomfortable and oddly moving, offering viewers an honest glimpse into the messy reality of trying to save a failing partnership. It's a bold experiment in cinematic transparency that challenges what we expect from both therapy and filmmaking.
