Tomris Laffly Variety Mar 17
“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 Rachel Tolleson The Mary Sue Mar 25
4.5/5
As funny as it is heartwarming and heart-wrenching at times, Landecker’s film promises to hold its space in the genre for some time to come. She has created something truly special and important. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Mar 20
In a film about weddings gone horribly - and hilariously - awry, having [Landecker] become a multi-hyphenate is one of the few things to have a nice ring to it. Go to Full Review Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org Mar 20
Landecker pulls off a hat trick with For Worse, a snappy romantic comedy about a divorced woman finding her feet in the Los Angeles dating scene. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
