It's ultimately not difficult to see why Todd Solondz has disowned his first film, Fear Anxiety and Depression...

Reel Film Reviews

Todd Solondz's feature directing debut is a disappointingly episodic and fragmented tale, containing musical sequences, that owes its existence to the work of Woody Allen.

I'm glad I bought it, I'm glad I saw it, and I'm glad Solondz moved beyond it.

Audience Reviews for Fear, Anxiety and Depression

Todd Solondz's first film feels more like a really demented Woody Allen movie then a Solondz movie, but there are definitely hints of what was to come. Solondz himself, hates the movie, but I'm not Solondz, and I love it.
