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.

75
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.

75
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.

70
Los Angeles Times
John Anderson
Odd, funny film.

67
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.

60
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Best of all is Holm, who is consistently hilarious as the sarcastic shrink from hell.

60
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
This offbeat charmer succumbs to the same airless artificiality that has claimed many recent efforts in the genre.

60
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.

50
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The Treatment fails to do anything interesting with Jake.

50
LA Weekly
Ella Taylor
A feather-light comedy about losing emotional baggage and finding love in upper Manhattan.

50
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The Treatment gets this year's Rip van Winkle award.

50
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
A slight and rueful affair, intermittently funny.

40
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.

25
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.
