VN:F [1.9.8_1114]
Rating: 0.0/5 (0 votes cast)

Jake Singer (Chris Eigeman) is at loose ends in New York, and neck deep in psychoanalysis with the outrageous Dr. Morales (Ian Holm) when he meets the enigmatic and beautiful widow Allegra Marshall (Famke Janssen), igniting the slight possibility of a sane existence.
Why It's FilmBuff
A romantic dramedy that forgets the conventions of typical rom-coms and actually gives the characters baggage that go beyond, "Does (s)he really like me?" A mix of talented actors with a standout performance by Ian Holm that makes people forget his Bilbo Baggin-ness and see him for the amazing talent he really is.

  • "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."
