Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperJul 11, 2024
The long-run fallout of the Louis C.K. scandal is the subject of the thought-provoking New York Times documentary “Sorry/Not Sorry” from directors and producers Caroline Suh and Cara Mones, which shines a spotlight on the difficult questions raised when someone’s egregious actions result in them being “canceled.” Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleChris VognarJul 9, 2024
Produced by the New York Times and featuring the three reporters who broke the news (Melena Ryzik, Cara Buckley and Jodi Kantor), the film resonates by telling the story behind the story, about how the victims of sexual harassment and misconduct are often blamed, especially when their harasser is famous, popular and very funny.

ColliderRoss BonaimeSep 18, 2023
As a documentary, Sorry/Not Sorry isn’t groundbreaking in terms of form or information, but it does feel important in the larger conversations that Suh and Montes are exploring, as C.K. isn’t the first nor will he be the last celebrity to have the pain they've caused unveiled to the world.

Film ThreatBenjamin FranzJul 23, 2024
This film poignantly captures the hurt feelings of the women subjected to this man’s perversion. It is a sobering experience. Seek it out if you’re intrigued. Read full review

CNNBrian LowryJul 16, 2024
Sorry/Not Sorry takes issue with both the supposition that nobody was really victimized by Louis C.K.’s actions and the mentality of first looking the other way amid what the comic initially dismissed as “rumors,” then welcoming him back. Read full review

The New York TimesAmy NicholsonJul 11, 2024
An earnest and frustrating documentary. Read full review

VoxAlissa WilkinsonSep 18, 2023
What it does do, though, is remind us that bad men get away with bad things in part because we’re conditioned, over and over, to see them as normal and funny, permutations of “locker room talk” and “just making a joke.” Read full review

Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganSep 18, 2023
It is a nicely-packaged, technically-proficient production that stands out due to its timing, certainly, but also for the power and personality of the female comedians interviewed by the directors. Read full review

What a singularly weird, gross tale this turned out to be. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'SullivanJul 11, 2024
Produced by the New York Times, which broke the story, and with its authors Melena Ryzik, Cara Buckley and Jodi Kantor appearing on camera and listed as consulting producers, “Sorry” sticks a finger in a wound that, for some of those involved, hasn’t quite healed. Read full review

IndieWireKate ErblandSep 18, 2023
Chopped up into chapters with dead-on titles like “Open Secret” and “Comeback,” Sorry/Not Sorry seems to suffer from biting off way more than a single, wide-spanning documentary could ever ably chew. Read full review

The PlaylistCharles BarfieldSep 13, 2023
It’s like listening to a joke, hearing an intriguing set-up, and waiting for a punchline that never comes. You’re just left wondering what’s the point? Read full review

The A.V. ClubBrianna ZiglerJul 12, 2024
Sorry/Not Sorry functions more aptly as a recap of a situation most people who would seek out the doc already know about. Read full review

The Film StageEdward FrumkinSep 20, 2023
Mones and Suh’s missed questions and editing tactics make Sorry/Not Sorry a shallow, reductive portrait into demystifying the myth of cancel culture. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJourdain SearlesSep 18, 2023
Divided into seven narratively ill-defined parts, Sorry/Not Sorry moves like the first draft of an article that has all its sources, but doesn’t quite have a thesis yet. Rather than contemplating the nuances of C.K.’s rise and fall, it is simply an information piece, adding footnotes to the story we already know. Read full review
