Sensitivity Training

This was funny! And relatable to boot. The characters were likeable and real. I know folks like both main characters. Highly recommend, but NOT for kids due to language.

This movie was funny and entertaining. It was very applicable to real life.

Sensitivity Training is very ..sensitive to exhibiting some great acting, subtle & realistic. The scripting is brilliant and mostly subdued. Instead of hammed-up acting with exaggerated facial expressions and over-the-top body language, the actors and director presented a very realistic, mostly low-key range of emotions, combined with often deadpan humor, to tell a likeable and emotionally involving story.

A really great show!

I love this movie. I have never reviewed a movie before but I could not help myself. It is funny, cute, fun, and moving, all at the same time. The acting is incredible as the characters move through different moods. I have watched it twice already. It has been a long time since I felt moved to watch a movie multiple times. Can't wait to watch it again. I put it in the genius column for writing, directing, acting. Hope to see more from all involved.

An obtusely rude microbiologist is forced into sensitivity training after some incredibly cruel comments to a colleague result in her suicide (stay with me...the movie's not as grim as it sounds). To keep her job, Dr. Wolfe is required to undergo this training with a cheerful woman (Caroline) whose main job has been dealing with sexual harassment cases. The humor initially stems from the cranky scientist's efforts to undermine Caroline's efforts which she responds to with calm aplomb. (e.g. Dr. Wolfe: "Are you some psychotic delusion? Do I need to be on medication?" Caroline: "Probably").

There's a few odd things you'll need to just accept (I'm no expert but the science behind Dr. Wolfe's work seems a little iffy and I don't think I buy the notion that a woman like Caroline with two Ph.D.'s would be working sexual harassment cases but I'll go with it). This somewhat obscure film is actually quite entertaining. No new ground is broken but the film does have something to say about the importance of friendship and how such relationships can benefit both parties.
