"The other side of the balance is weighted solely by the character of Tinker. The heinousness of the deeds he is able to commit upon these expressively human patients, is grossly amplified in the obdurate and methodical ways in which he performs his punishing therapy. Fraley is excellent in this role, not only in playing this unmoved nature of Tinker, but in surprising the audience by showing the other side of his character—the impotent and fragile side of Tinker who also has his own object of desire in that of a peep-show dancer played by Molly Dewane. It is their relationship that allows us to see in full view that it is Tinker’s own self-hatred that allows him to invent and stomach the cruelties he inflicts upon his patients."
