I really enjoyed watching this movie, especially the unexpected bizarre ending. I definitely recommend it. The reviewer with the "validity to The Patriot Act" comment, must have been watching a different movie.... Full review

To be honest, for the first half of the film, I was with Sorry, Haters .
Either that, or it's just a superfluous detail, and Stanzler needs to learn some self-control.
Robin Wright Penn and Abdellatif Kechiche are actors of considerable skill.

If after watching writer-director Jeff Stanzler's "Sorry, Haters" the worst things you do is smack yourself upside the head and curse about the 83 minutes wasted, you're way ahead of the game.
TV programmer Phoebe (Robin Wright Penn), who is unstable one minute and psychotic the next, hops in the cab of Ashade (Abdellatif Kechiche), a Syrian Ph.D.

Jeff Stanzler gave his chillingly uncomfortable "Sorry, Haters" (HH1/ 2 ) just enough dramatic plot twists to keep it interesting, but his film never offers the moment of cultural clarity in the post-9/11 world that he apparently intends.
Robin Wright Penn is as convincing as possible as an almost unbelievable character with no redeeming traits.
