Witness Katarina, a Norwegian nurse, and Nik, a fellow immigrant 1st generation nurse from Italy, as they embark on a passionate affair that threatens to implode from the pressure of unresolved mental health issues concealed in Nik's secret past. The film shows the delicate corrosion of inner past issues that are not dealt with and how patterns can repeat themselves without our awareness in relationships today -- "Transference" resists falling into the trap of a predictable story arc and one-dimensional characters based on universally accepted mental illness stereotypes. The film draws influence from director Raffaello Degruttola's loving, but difficult, relationship with his father, who struggled with a severe version of bipolar disorder throughout his life.

Erik Childress eFilmCritic.com The film faces a crossroads on whether to explore a more complicated dynamic or delve into cliched theatrics about scorned lovers and toxicity. Except the film is not sure which way to pull and it becomes more frustrating waiting on it to make a decision. Rated: 3/5 May 18, 2021 Full Review Jessica Baxter jessicabaxter.com Transference is a difficult watch, but those who seek veracity in their romantic dramas, or wish to study a cautionary tale for therapeutic purposes, will find the film riveting and perhaps even refreshing.
