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.
By Jonathan Rosenbaum FULL REVIEW

The film is a pleasant breeze that refreshes, mostly because it's a rare, thoughtful comedy clearly intended for grown-ups.
By Ken Fox FULL REVIEW

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.
By Lisa Schwarzbaum FULL REVIEW

This offbeat charmer succumbs to the same airless artificiality that has claimed many recent efforts in the genre.
By Ronnie Scheib FULL REVIEW
50
A feather-light comedy about losing emotional baggage and finding love in upper Manhattan.
By Ella Taylor FULL REVIEW

A slight and rueful affair, intermittently funny.
By Anthony Lane FULL REVIEW
25
A wan effort at "Annie Hall"-style comedy, has about as much Manhattan sophistication as a gas station in Chippewa Falls, Wis.
