Neurotics are not new to the beloved cinematic milieu of Manhattan's tony, tree-lined Upper East Side, but Oren Rudavsky's fast-paced romantic drama The Treatment, based on the novel by Daniel Menaker, deftly expands the genre to include the psychotherapist from hell. Jake Singer (Chris Eigeman) is a slightly rumpled, cynical private school English teacher pushing 40. Resigned to a life of compromise and mediocrity, Singer stumbles through life, turning for emotional guidance to Argentine Catholic Freudian Dr. Ernesto Morales (Ian Holm). Morales' method of treatment, however, is so unconventional as to be verging on the maniacal. When Singer meets sexy socialite widow Allegra Marshall (Famke Janssen), his life begins to change dramatically. But can he dislodge the crazed shrink from his psyche? Featuring memorable performances by Holm, Eigeman and Janssen, The Treatment is a smartly crafted love story about wounded souls finding themselves and each other�without the aid of therapy. — A.
