Janice Page Boston Globe A revealing and dryly humorous film about voyeurism and the patient-doctor relationship. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 28, 2005 Full Review Lisa Kennedy Denver Post An intelligent if shifty riff on the relationship between psychoanalyst and subject. Rated: 2.5/4 May 21, 2004 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Explores a fascinating subject in a self-indulgent and less-than- illuminating manner. Mar 3, 2004 Full Review Marta Barber Miami Herald Empathy, despite its entertaining and insightful dialogue, can also be a bore. Rated: 2/4 Jun 4, 2004 Full Review Marc Mohan Oregonian This odd and fascinating mishmash of fiction, documentary and post-doctoral research project raises a host of interesting questions about the masks people wear, even if it doesn't provide any definitive answers. Mar 5, 2004 Full Review Maria Garcia Film Journal International Siegel's attempt to unveil psychotherapy's strange nostrums for female depression is labyrinthine and intellectually abstruse, more feminist polemic than good filmmaking.
