Reviews for The Treatment
Who wants to behave well in bed?
06/29/07
Valiant effort, but someone should have begged for a rewrite.
10/18/07
...our emotional involvement remains superficial, and we never get that sense of uplift that Allen's better romantic city tales have given us.
07/05/07
Top CriticAn offbeat and slightly passé take on the mental health profession along with romantic-comedy filler that lacks whimsy.
05/04/07
The guy we need to love and respect and give our sypathies to -- the center of the untherapeutic little comedy/drama -- isn't in this movie.
05/19/07
The Treatment, a wan effort at Annie Hall-style comedy, has about as much Manhattan sophistication as a gas station in Chippewa Falls, Wis.
05/09/07
Top CriticThe Treatment is a movie with its heart and head in the right place. Too bad its aesthetic sensibilities and technical coordinates are not as well situated.
05/07/07
Considering the furious pace at which Allen himself cranks out second-rate comedies these days, why bother with a limp imitation?
06/23/07
While it has an understated poise, the film's portrait of inner male turmoil isn't particularly unique or profound.
04/29/07
This offbeat charmer succumbs to the same airless artificiality that has claimed many recent efforts in the genre.
05/01/07
The three main performances are what carry the film
07/14/07
The Treatment feels too much like an indulgence.
05/25/07
Top CriticOren Rudavsky’s The Treatment features a gifted acting ensemble down to the smallest parts, a good mix of whimsy and intelligent discourse, with just a touch of fantasy that never engulfs the narrative.
05/02/07
Top CriticThe Treatment is not without its flaws but its sterling cast makes it a real joy to watch.
04/30/07
A smart, tender love story.
08/10/07
Treatment has small intentions, but its friendliness and caution with melodrama makes it a swell change of pace from other neurotic essays on self-absorption.
06/14/07
A small film about a high school teacher in an elite Manhattan prep school, but it's filled with large doses of wit and insight.
10/12/07
--- cerebral, intelligently written and well acted adult fare ---
08/12/07
It's an intelligent and thought-provoking romantic comedy.
