Reviews for Sorry, Haters
| Tomatometer | Critic | Review | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
 3.5/4 |
A psychological thriller with a cleverly-concealed subplot likely to surprise even the best of cinema sleuths. Full Review |
||
 |
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. Full Review |

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

|
1.5/4 |
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. Full Review |

7/10 |
Despite moments of confusion in the script by director Jeff Stanzler, Sorry, Haters remains engrossing, largely because of Penn's superb portrayal. Full Review |

2/4 |
As the characters unravel -- and how -- so too does the movie. Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
Ambitious but seriously confused social commentary. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
A preposterous screwball psychological drama called Sorry, Haters, a film roughly as successful as the phrase 'screwball psychological drama' implies. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
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. Full Review |

|
C+ |
That Penn and Kechiche are so committed to their roles only makes writer-director Jeff Stanzler's film more of a conundrum. Full Review |
||
|
|
Sorry, Haters trades in glib reversals, not complexities -- just about everyone is a crude stereotype turned on its head. Full Review |
||
|
5/10 |
The idea could and previously has been done well, but here it makes for a thoroughly unpleasant film experience. Full Review |
||
|
|
[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. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
Rather than lovers or haters, the film is most likely to find indifference from audiences. Full Review |
||
|
|
[It's] such a fascinating story. Full Review |
||
|
B+ |
Contrary to what some critics have said, this is a taut thriller with a conclusion that is not "risible" but credible and cathartic. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
The haters are not sorry, and they're the one making this film. Full Review |
