Michael Phillips

Baumbach’s achievement stings. It also has the sureness of tone and direction of a Chekhov story. Read full review

Peter Travers

Dissenters who see this film as a wallow in self-absorption aren't paying attention. Baumbach is acutely attuned to the droll mind games of smart people who only think they're impervious to feeling. Read full review

A.O. Scott

Frequently brilliant, finally baffling film. Read full review

Marc Mohan

The overall effect of the movie is to make you wish there were a statute of limitations on how long maladjusted adults are allowed to blame their parents before it's OK to holler, "Get over it, people!" Read full review

Jim Ridley

Hard as it may be to imagine a comedy that inflicts all the psychic torment of "Cries and Whispers," Baumbach has pulled off a more psychologically acute--and funnier--version of the Bergman pastiches that Woody Allen attempted 30 years ago, with a jumpy, nerve-rattling rhythm all his own.

Empire Liz Beardsworth

A sharply observed but bleak examination of family dysfunction, anchored by solid performances. Read full review

Michael Sragow

Margot at the Wedding is a Christmas gift for high-class depressives: a compendium of malaise fit for an L.L. Bean catalog. Read full review

Baumbach's has an incredible gift of giving genuine life to characters, their flaws glaring and painful even as you fall in love them.
