Reviews for The Treatment

|---|---|---|---|
 B |
It's an intelligent and thought-provoking romantic comedy. Full Review |
||
|
|
Its otherwise straightforward narrative does what it can to revive the corpse of grown-up romance, with just enough surrealism to save the film from its more serious impulses. Full Review |
||
 3/5 |
Valiant effort, but someone should have begged for a rewrite. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
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. Full Review |

3/4 |
The Treatment finds its agreeable pace. We've heard this particular story before, but it holds up to a skilled retelling. Full Review |

|
B |
Oren Rudavsky's adaptation of Daniel Menaker's novel is a quietly enjoyable romantic comedy for adults who like to see characters acting like adults. Full Review |
||
|
|
This film is so much more believable, amusing and entertaining than the crap we had to listen to in 'Knocked Up'. Full Review |

--- cerebral, intelligently written and well acted adult fare --- Full Review |

Chris Eigeman finally gets to show his range in this romantic comedy. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
A smart, tender love story. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
|
Eigeman has been in training for this kind of thing for years, but the pleasant surprise is Janssen, who shows a gift for clever dialogue. This is light fare, but it’s smart, enjoyable light fare. Full Review |

The three main performances are what carry the film Full Review |
||
|
|
...our emotional involvement remains superficial, and we never get that sense of uplift that Allen's better romantic city tales have given us. Full Review |
||
|
|
Who wants to behave well in bed? Full Review |
||
|
|
Considering the furious pace at which Allen himself cranks out second-rate comedies these days, why bother with a limp imitation? Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
Having an affair of the heart...and mind. Full Review |
||
|
B |
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. Full Review |
||
|
|
The Treatment is richest when it zooms in on the testy co-dependence between analyst and analysand. It’s high time for a comedy about the decline and fall of traditional psychoanalysis. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
The Treatment feels too much like an indulgence. Full Review |
