Yes, and actually I was one of the first 200 hyphnotherpist certified and licensed by the National Board of Hypnotherapy.
While doing light hypnosis a person can only be if they allow it, no one can be against their will. ( with deep mind control like the CIA may do, you can do it to anyone)
It will help you go back into childhool memories and into things you have forgotten, you can see the blackboard in your grade school and remember things on the board, you can remember license plate numbers you only got a glance at.
And it can but a subconscience idea of message into your mind.
And you can go back to a memory and learn to deal with it,
But no it will not make you forget anything , you can be told to forget your were hypnotised and that will normally work.
I did not see the movie so I don't have a reference for that.
What it can do is make you feel better about yourself, and see the truth about a situation to help you get over it. It will help you understand that you did not need them or anyone to feel good about yourself.
But you won't forget what they did to you, but you may understand more of why it happened.
