3/4
This is a more-than-solid observational comedy with a melancholy undertone, reminiscent of early Albert Brooks movies like 'Modern Romance.' Go to Full Review 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 Neely Swanson Easy Reader (California) 4h
This is not new territory but it’s told well. Landecker has filled this story with characters who develop, humorous scenes and a relatable scenario for all those looking for a safe place to land. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 14h
4/5
…written by, directed by and produced by Amy Landecker, For Worse is a rich and acerbic comedy that sucessfully re-ignites the classic romcom…a proper indie charmer for Landecker, Bradley Whitford and all involved…. Go to Full Review Charles Johnston Spectrum Culture 17h
This low-budget rom-com was made with the spirit of nothing left to lose and comes with all the refreshing honesty that promises. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kathy Norton 1d I loved this movie in all ways and Im not normally a romcom fan. The cast was great and the story was so funny and engaging! I laughed through the whole movie. Loved! See more Lisa D. @ldemakos 2d A charming, laugh-out-loud funny movie. An impressive screenwriting and directorial debut by Amy Landecker, who also played the lead role to perfection with amazing physical comedy and heart. Endearing ensemble cast.
