Stereotype- and expectation-busting indie drama.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 15, 2010

A psychological thriller with a cleverly-concealed subplot likely to surprise even the best of cinema sleuths.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 31, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 6, 2006

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

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 14, 2006

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.

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

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 31, 2006

As the characters unravel -- and how -- so too does the movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 24, 2006

Ambitious but seriously confused social commentary.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 23, 2006

A preposterous screwball psychological drama called Sorry, Haters, a film roughly as successful as the phrase 'screwball psychological drama' implies.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 18, 2006

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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 18, 2006

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 17, 2006

That Penn and Kechiche are so committed to their roles only makes writer-director Jeff Stanzler's film more of a conundrum.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 17, 2006

Sorry, Haters trades in glib reversals, not complexities -- just about everyone is a crude stereotype turned on its head.

| Mar 16, 2006

The idea could and previously has been done well, but here it makes for a thoroughly unpleasant film experience.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 9, 2006

[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.

| Mar 9, 2006

Rather than lovers or haters, the film is most likely to find indifference from audiences.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 8, 2006

[It's] such a fascinating story.

Full Review | Mar 6, 2006

Contrary to what some critics have said, this is a taut thriller with a conclusion that is not "risible" but credible and cathartic.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 5, 2006

The haters are not sorry, and they're the one making this film.
