Reviews for Sorry, Haters
Sorry, Haters acquires the slowly widening, fanged grin of a Polanski tale.
02/28/06
Top CriticThere 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.
03/03/06
Plucking shamelessly on post-September 11 anxieties, Sorry, Haters follows the irrational involvement of a New York City cab driver and a disturbed fare.
03/01/06
Top CriticBesides its hollow assertions, Sorry, Haters barely makes any sense.
03/03/06
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.
03/18/06
Top CriticDespite moments of confusion in the script by director Jeff Stanzler, Sorry, Haters remains engrossing, largely because of Penn's superb portrayal.
03/31/06
[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
Contrary 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
As the characters unravel -- and how -- so too does the movie.
03/24/06
Top CriticSorry, Haters fails to register as anything but a hollow piece of cinematic provocation.
03/03/06
A head-scratcher supreme -- not least for pondering what possibly attracted Robin Wright Penn to her intractable, impossible role -- Jeff Stanzler's Sorry, Haters is sorry indeed.
03/01/06
Top CriticThe idea could and previously has been done well, but here it makes for a thoroughly unpleasant film experience.
03/09/06
Far from the advertised 'anxiety of a city on edge,' this film does no more than sketch a sorry woman
02/27/06
The haters are not sorry, and they're the one making this film.
03/03/06
By the time he unveils the final plot twist, his film has lost every shred of credibility.
03/01/06
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.
03/17/06
Top CriticA 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.
05/04/07
Stanzler seems to be arguing that in an MTV world, we're all foreigners, desperate to be radicalized.
02/28/06
A sorry mess.
