Leave your thoughts about Don't Worry Baby.
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohFather and son boff the same babe-and a baby girl results. From this queasy premise, an onscreen abortion is wrought. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinDespite the tale’s potential for an overly broad and crass approach to its loaded setup, Branciforte’s sly, incisive writing and even-handed take on his authentic characters instead errs on the side of wit, candor and a kind of hip sophistication. |
| The PlaylistJason OoiEven if it does shy away from harsher truths, Branciforte’s inaugural feature is a joy to watch. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterDespite an implausible ending devoid of consequence, “Don’t Worry Baby” benefits from tidy editing, cinematography and, most of all, the presence of the seasoned Mr. McDonald and Ms. Balsam. Their nuanced authority — and the vibrant Manhattan backdrop — make the trip worthwhile. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenBranciforte's writing lacks the nuance to take its absurd concept seriously, so it awkwardly injects comedy. |
| Village VoiceAbbey BenderUnsurprisingly, the film doesn't live up to its Beach Boys–quoting title. Things turn out all right, but there's little real emotional force. |
| Film InquirySam WilsonDon't Worry Baby is more than just a father-son comedy, it's an emotional roller coaster, too. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeLaughs do not exactly pour forth from this dreary and frequently insulting picture. |
| User ReviewChris AFilm was great. Strongly recommend taking a night off to watch. |
