	Media	Author	Review
		Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune	'''Beyond Therapy' never builds up any genuine energy, direction or swing: It just huffs and puffs and eventually hyperventilates."
		Vincent Canby The New York Times	"The performances are good, but the film has been assembled without an overriding sense of humor and style. It remains in bits and pieces"
		Time Out	"Stunningly designed and shot, it's a weird and sometimes wonderful excursion into New York neurotica that will offend, disturb and intrigue."
		Pat Graham Chicago Reader	"[Altman] he makes clever use of space in his odd 'Rear Window' takes on the therapeutic encounters, though I doubt that any respectable Hitchcockian would be caught dead eavesdropping on such psychobabbling confusion"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It's a movie in which every scene must have seemed like a lot of fun at the time, but, when they're edited together, there's no pattern to the movie, nothing to build toward, no reason for us to care (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
