The Upside of Anger

"I liked these characters precisely because they were not designed to be likable -- or, more precisely, because they were likable in spite of being exasperating, unorganized, self-destructive and impervious to good advice (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" 

"The first film of the new year that stays with you — a fiercely funny human comedy with jokes that sting and leave marks (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"[Binder] has certainly, with 'The Upside of Anger,' edged a bit closer toward the emotional realities of modern adults, but he has not quite overcome the temptation to let glibness stand for sensitivity." 

"This loses focus and begins to get a little soggy and moralistic toward the end, but on the whole it's a sensitive and well-observed comedy" 

"[It] has been in the pipeline for a UK release for two years. Joan Allen's performance justifies the wait (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Compelling and honest with flashes of dark humour which makes this a meaty comedy drama (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
