What The Critics Said
All critic scores are converted to a 100-point scale. If a critic does not indicate a score, we assign a score based on the general impression given by the text of the review. Learn more...
Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
John Zorn's ethnically tinged score is effectively minimalist without succumbing to Philip Glass-style monotony, and Harris Yulin is effective as the hero's semi-estranged father.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
Janssen is an intense screen presence. Too often she's stuck playing humorless towering antagonists. Here, happily, she's allowed to be a real person.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
The film is a pleasant breeze that refreshes, mostly because it's a rare, thoughtful comedy clearly intended for grown-ups.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
The filmmaking is rudimentary in The Treatment, Oren Rudavsky's adaptation of Daniel Menaker's novel, but the feeling for the patient-and-shrink dynamic is authentic.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck
Best of all is Holm, who is consistently hilarious as the sarcastic shrink from hell.
Read Full Review >Variety Ronnie Scheib
This offbeat charmer succumbs to the same airless artificiality that has claimed many recent efforts in the genre.
Read Full Review >Village Voice J. Hoberman
Short, sweet, and hardly ever cloying, The Treatment is largely dependent for its success on the quality of its performances--most surprisingly, Eigeman's.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
The Treatment fails to do anything interesting with Jake.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Ella Taylor
A feather-light comedy about losing emotional baggage and finding love in upper Manhattan.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
The Treatment gets this year's Rip van Winkle award.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Manohla Dargis
A movie with its heart and head in the right place. Too bad its aesthetic sensibilities and technical coordinates are not as well situated.
Read Full Review >New York Post Kyle Smith
A wan effort at "Annie Hall"-style comedy, has about as much Manhattan sophistication as a gas station in Chippewa Falls, Wis.
