Judy Berman TIME Magazine Jan 2, 2019
What's most refreshing is the way Olsen and the show's creator, playwright Kit Steinkellner, translate Leigh's grief into behavior that can be stunningly selfish and thoroughly understandable at once. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Collider Dec 15, 2018
5/5
Sorry for Your Loss is an intense, emotionally raw meditation on grief. And yet, it's never overwhelming as much as engrossing. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire Dec 15, 2018

If you're going to ask an audience to wallow in tragedy, you better have a point to make, and Sorry for Your Loss has yet to find a fresh one. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Jul 6, 2022
It's raw and painful, and director James Ponsoldt makes no attempt to candy coat it for us, but it's not overbearing either. It's a humane look at someone in extraordinary circumstances and a reminder that Elizabeth Olsen is an extremely capable actor. Go to Full Review Lauren Bradshaw Cloture Club Jan 28, 2019

Sorry For Your Loss is centered around a woman dealing with tragedy, but at its heart is anchored by a magnetic ensemble cast and phenomenal writing. Go to Full Review Pilot Viruet The Verge Dec 20, 2018
The result is a surprisingly engaging, remarkably well-written mediation on the different, less-celebrated ways to grieve. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Movie N. @cpoex Dec 5, 2025 This being on Facebook is insane. They need to give this to a proper streaming service so more people can see it. This is the rawest television performance I’ve ever seen. It can be slow at times but it’s incredible See more Aviv G @RT63196516 Aug 31, 2024 I only watched this serious because I wanted more of Elizabeth Olsen after I've deen Love and Death. To my disappointment it quickly got into being a girl's soap opera, and I had to stop watching when ai realized she was going to get involved with his brother. Like, what are you doing, man? seriously?? It was also so not fitting the characters... sorry, but extremely lame See more Jan 6, 2022 Elizabeth Olsen blows it out of the water with her spectacular acting on top of an already refreshingly down to earth and relatable plot. I especially loved how complex the story dives and the way we can change perspective and loom at not just Leigh's grief but others'. Camera work and color/vibrancy changes were subtle but effective in telling this story. See more Emanuel A @RT10624802 Mar 27, 2021 amazing act for olsen See more Feb 16, 2021 Wonderfully heartfelt and a genuine display of the experience of losing a loved one. Very relatable. It sneaks in some humor, which has you laughing amidst the tears. Absolutely needs a season 3 and more!!! Hoping that one of the streaming services like Netflix, Prime, or Hulu pucks this one up. Hintity hint! : ) See more mico n @RT47871934 Dec 30, 2020 a touching portrayal on a sensitive subject. Amazing performance by Olsen! See more Read all reviews
