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]

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

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.

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

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

SORRY, HATERS is amazing. And not what you probably think from the title.

[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.

Sorry, Haters acquires the slowly widening, fanged grin of a Polanski tale.

Stanzler seems to be arguing that in an MTV world, we're all foreigners, desperate to be radicalized.

It 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.

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.

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.

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.
