The Hollywood Reporter
Jason Reitman's new film skillfully navigates through the personal melodramas of many characters with a nice sense of balance and a sharp appreciation of generational differences. - 67
Hitfix
The problem is there is just too much going on here for Reitman to pull that off and after an auspicious start, it all just, sadly, falls flat. - 60
The Guardian
A huge improvement on the muddled melodrama of Labor Day, Men, Women and Children is still a flawed Jason Reitman film. Its scope is too big, his ambitions too high. - 50
Variety
This painfully well-meaning but largely unpersuasive bid for cross-generational understanding feels at once of-the-moment and too obvious by half, like a less overblown version of “Crash” for the information superhighway. - 50
The New York Times
Veering between alarmism and cautious reassurance — between technohysteria and shrugging, nothing-new-under-the-sun resignation — Men, Women & Children succumbs to the confusion it tries to illuminate. - 50
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
There are a TV season’s worth of soap opera betrayals, melodramatic traumas and blundering efforts to learn from and escape this media miasma. - 42
IndieWire
Men, Women and Children is so married to the idea of humanity's insignificance that it presents support for that argument with its very existence. - 42
The Playlist
It's a shame Reitman goes down such a dull and tired road with his movie, because the cast give some really nice turns.
