It's a story of anger, revenge and retribution so timely it could be too true for comfort. It begins when Ashade, a Muslim cab driver (Abdellatif Kechiche), picks up Phoebe (Robin Wright Penn) a well-heeled professional woman. Although Ashade and Phoebe have nothing in common, each holds troubling urges and motivations. When Phoebe takes an interest in exonerating Ashade's unjustly jailed brother, a series of events are set in motion resulting in the revelation of a devastating hidden truth. SORRY,HATERS is that rare film that dares to capture the anxiety of a city on edge. With powerful performances by Robin Wright Penn, Abdellatif Kechiche, Sandra Oh and Josh Hamilton it has the courage to ask the most forbidden questions of who we are, and suggest some surprising answers. --© IFC Films [More]

Sorry, Haters trades in glib reversals, not complexities -- just about everyone is a crude stereotype turned on its head.

There are weighty subjects broached here ... but none is handled with any maturity or depth, simply tossed out there and swept away by an insulting and sadistic conclusion.

...the conclusion...is destined to leave audiences thinking and talking about it for hours after everything's said and done.

Far from the advertised 'anxiety of a city on edge,' this film does no more than sketch a sorry woman

So misguided as to be genuinely mystifying, Jeff Stanzler's queasily blended political psychodrama isn't simply a lousy movie. It's also a lousy movie that boldly exploits the events of 9/11.

The haters are not sorry, and they're the one making this film.

Contrary to what some critics have said, this is a taut thriller with a conclusion that is not "risible" but credible and cathartic.

Despite moments of confusion in the script by director Jeff Stanzler, Sorry, Haters remains engrossing, largely because of Penn's superb portrayal.

Their puzzling behaviors are given a kind of a rationale before the film is over. But I didn't buy any of it for a second.

Plucking shamelessly on post-September 11 anxieties, Sorry, Haters follows the irrational involvement of a New York City cab driver and a disturbed fare.

Does build steam as it goes, though the somewhat slow pacing works against it.

Ambitious but seriously confused social commentary.

It's a well-meaning but ultimately feeble and misguided attempt to say something profound about the aftereffects of the 2001 attacks on New York.

The story, after being quite intriguing, becomes more and more of a letdown (and less and less believable) as the end draws closer.

A psychological thriller with a cleverly-concealed subplot likely to surprise even the best of cinema sleuths.

Besides its hollow assertions, Sorry, Haters barely makes any sense.

As the characters unravel -- and how -- so too does the movie.
