Critics Consensus

A comedy for grown-ups, The Treatment overcomes some technical lapses by virtue of a sharp cast.

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

Karina Longworth

Cinematical

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.
