“For Worse” might be a tiny step among its kind, but it still feels like a leap for its thoughtful auteur [Amy Landecker], ultimately celebrating new beginnings as an ageless milestone. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Mar 14
Landecker is likable enough to make this a hard movie to hate, but I kept hoping the movie would truly let her loose instead of pushing her from one uncomfortable encounter to another. Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Mar 12
"For Worse" isn’t all bad; bits of it are intriguing and the rest is too anodyne to get worked up about. But it’s hard to shake the disappointment that this just an okay movie, when it seems like it should’ve been a good one. Go to Full Review Robert Kojder Flickering Myth 11h

A first-rate ensemble cast propels this sharply observed comedy, which delightfully explores vulnerability and gender roles while balancing absurdity with heartfelt charm. Go to Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies 1d

For Worse ... takes an intriguing, engaging character and crams her into the pigeonhole of a clichéd archetype and narrative. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
