Leave your thoughts about The Humbling.
| HeyUGuysJo-Anne TitmarshAn intelligent, incredibly funny and most human film. |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerAn unusually charming dark comedy about an actor teetering on the edges of reality, fantasy and career. The subject of dementia is explored and mined, not made fun of. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThe Humbling is a dark dazzler shot through with mirth and delicious malice. But be warned. It is not Roth's novel. |
| The Film StageTommaso TocciA melancholic alternation of bitter and comedic sketches, all resolutely low-key and wildly uneven. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIf you can adjust to the film's uneven rhythms and often illusory vibe, there's a treasure trove of off-kilter humor, affecting pathos and first-class acting to be savored. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenAl Pacino modifies his usual hammy style in this satire on May-December romances and commentary on the transitory nature of celebrity. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY] Now that "Birdman" has collected awards and Oscar nominations, it's sour grapes to suggest that an injustice has been done to "The Humbling." Nonetheless, it is a better movie. |
| The PlaylistJessica KiangA missed opportunity that squanders the talents of a pretty stacked cast and jeopardizes the audience’s patience and care for its spoiled characters for too long. |
| The DissolveMike D'AngeloFor every element that doesn’t work...there’s a moment that crackles with electricity and conviction. |
| Film Comment MagazineMichael SragowThe Humbling is frisky and buoyant, with laughs that bubble up unpredictably, often when you least expect them. |
