Noah Berlatsky Chicago Reader Mar 4, 2026
For Worse is a gentle middle-aged rom-com that deliberately lowers expectations even as it faithfully hits all the genre beats. It’s an approach designed to charm without dazzling, and at that it succeeds admirably. Go to Full Review

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, 2025
“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
Michael Petrey Pop Culture Leftovers May 27, 2026
For Worse is a masterful directorial debut from Amy Landecker who also writes and stars in this hilarious midlife crisis-turned-renaissance romanceless comedy. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix Apr 10, 2026
The romantic comedy For Worse often looks like skits strung together in a loosely conceived plot. However, writer/director/star Amy Landecker brings a lot of appeal and emotional authenticity to this movie about a divorced mother who starts dating again. Go to Full Review
Linda and Al Lerner Movies and Shakers Mar 20, 2026
It takes awhile for this to get rolling with Landecker sometimes taking situations to extreme for emotion or laughs. But she develops her character better in situations she has obviously experienced herself, with a chance For Better in the end. Go to Full Review
