- 75ColliderRoss BonaimeColliderRoss BonaimeAs a documentary, Sorry/Not Sorry isn’t groundbreaking in terms of form or information, but it does feel important in the larger conversations that Suh and Montes are exploring, as C.K. isn’t the first nor will he be the last celebrity to have the pain they've caused unveiled to the world.
- 70Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganScreen DailyFionnuala HalliganIt is a nicely-packaged, technically-proficient production that stands out due to its timing, certainly, but also for the power and personality of the female comedians interviewed by the directors.
- 70What it does do, though, is remind us that bad men get away with bad things in part because we’re conditioned, over and over, to see them as normal and funny, permutations of “locker room talk” and “just making a joke.”
- 58IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandChopped up into chapters with dead-on titles like “Open Secret” and “Comeback,” Sorry/Not Sorry seems to suffer from biting off way more than a single, wide-spanning documentary could ever ably chew.
- 50The PlaylistCharles BarfieldThe PlaylistCharles BarfieldIt’s like listening to a joke, hearing an intriguing set-up, and waiting for a punchline that never comes. You’re just left wondering what’s the point?
- 42The Film StageEdward FrumkinThe Film StageEdward FrumkinMones and Suh’s missed questions and editing tactics make Sorry/Not Sorry a shallow, reductive portrait into demystifying the myth of cancel culture.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterJourdain SearlesThe Hollywood ReporterJourdain SearlesDivided into seven narratively ill-defined parts, Sorry/Not Sorry moves like the first draft of an article that has all its sources, but doesn’t quite have a thesis yet. Rather than contemplating the nuances of C.K.’s rise and fall, it is simply an information piece, adding footnotes to the story we already know.
