Reviews for Sorry, Haters
A product of a younger, confused generation raised on a junk diet of corporate media propaganda and tabloid news substituting hip for history, it's distanced from any candid self-reflection, while demonizing women as the main source of global distress.

Top CriticDoes build steam as it goes, though the somewhat slow pacing works against it.
04/14/06
Many audience members will likely be turned off by the film's bizarre ending. I'd defend it, solely on the grounds that it is the appropriate finish for the entire misbegotten mess.
04/13/06
Despite moments of confusion in the script by director Jeff Stanzler, Sorry, Haters remains engrossing, largely because of Penn's superb portrayal.
03/31/06
As the characters unravel -- and how -- so too does the movie.
03/24/06
Top CriticAmbitious but seriously confused social commentary.
03/23/06
A preposterous screwball psychological drama called Sorry, Haters, a film roughly as successful as the phrase 'screwball psychological drama' implies.
03/18/06
Top CriticIt contains such a gripping performance by Robin Wright Penn that it succeeds, in a way, despite itself. To see great work is a reason to see an imperfect movie, and to observe how the movie loses its way may be useful even if it's frustrating.
03/18/06
Top CriticIt's a well-meaning but ultimately feeble and misguided attempt to say something profound about the aftereffects of the 2001 attacks on New York.
03/17/06
Top CriticThat Penn and Kechiche are so committed to their roles only makes writer-director Jeff Stanzler's film more of a conundrum.
03/17/06
Top CriticSorry, Haters trades in glib reversals, not complexities -- just about everyone is a crude stereotype turned on its head.
03/16/06
Top CriticThe idea could and previously has been done well, but here it makes for a thoroughly unpleasant film experience.
03/09/06
[It's] all about how New Yorkers are dealing with the wake of 9/11, but the replication of that off-kilter feeling comes all in the structure of the story and the heightened sense of the absurd that it creates.
03/09/06
Rather than lovers or haters, the film is most likely to find indifference from audiences.
03/08/06
[It's] such a fascinating story.
03/06/06
Top CriticContrary to what some critics have said, this is a taut thriller with a conclusion that is not "risible" but credible and cathartic.
03/05/06
The haters are not sorry, and they're the one making this film.
