Men, Women & Children Reviews

A shallow look at suburban America.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 28, 2021

Might have been better off with a title like Old Folks Just Don't Understand.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 2, 2021

Reitman comes up with a simple yet effective way to make it all work and for the most part it does.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 16, 2020

Jason Reitman's deceptively light exploration of the Digital Age couples both comedy and tragedy through near-accepted absurdity.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 31, 2019

How hilariously perverse that a film about how we don't communicate any more has nothing to say... This is calamitous, inept filmmaking designed to look and feel "important".

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 3, 2019

A huge, intricately woven film that at least attempts to say something profound about the current digital-obsessed landscape.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 22, 2019

Men, Women, & Children curates the world of technology into a tiny sliver of only the most outlandishly evil elements, and pretends that perspective is reason for despair.

| Aug 24, 2018

Moving and intense, Men, Women, and Children manages to make us confront uncomfortable realities about ourselves, while also reassuring us that we can also be good people.

| May 26, 2018

Men, Women, & Children is the latest of the cinematic thinkpiece new wave, a food-for-thought lesson in didacticism that, in its attempt to capture the multiple dimensions that technology adds to our lives, ends up seeming more like a flat morality tale.

| Sep 25, 2017

The entire cast all turn in first-rate performances, as Reitman has given us a finely executed and fascinating cautionary tale that leaves lots of food for thought.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 17, 2016

It's the kind of movie where you wouldn't be surprised to discover Reitman and co- writer Erin Cressida Wilson were ticking the boxes on a literal checklist.

| Jun 18, 2016

(Writrer-Director) Reitman indicts our society, which has become not just wired but thoroughly trussed up. He comes down too hard, though, on the one character who is perceptive enough to see from the start where all this connectedness is heading.

| Original Score: 3 of 5 | Apr 18, 2016

If Reitman's aim was to push buttons, make us think, and give his cast a stage for some stellar performances, he's succeeded wildly.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 15, 2016

It looks fantastic but adds nothing to the discussion of a post-9/11 world - Men, Women & Children merely exploits it.

| Original Score: C | Feb 27, 2016

The name of the film is "Men, Women & Children." Don't forget the animals, because this one's a real dog.

| Original Score: F | Jan 20, 2015

Ultimately, when it comes time to tie the film all together into something memorable, Men, Women & Children offers only its equivalent of a shrugging emoticon in reply.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 9, 2015

Much of the film's hard work is undone by a weak finale. Most of the characters go through a life-changing epiphany that doesn't ring true.

| Original Score: C+ | Dec 12, 2014

Though a couple of the storylines have some of the bite of Reitman's earlier work, the film mostly resorts to look-how-crazy-this-is handwringing ...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 8, 2014

A new film, but the themes are old and tired.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 8, 2014

Top marks go to young leads Ansel Elgort and Kaitlyn Dever, who manage to create their own believable world within the mawkish miasma of this flawed movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 7, 2014
