A seriously good movie, a challenge to viewers, a rebuke of the way many Americans live their lives.Full Review
Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle
It is also Nicholson at his bravest and riskiest. By banking his fires and staying alert to the smallest details, he delivers a monumental performance that blasts your expectations and batters your heart.Full Review
Peter Travers
Rolling Stone
What gives About Schmidt its ultimate boost, what pushes it into the stirring heavens is Nicholson, who produces the most understated -– and one of the most powerful –- performances of his career.Full Review
Desson Thomson
Washington Post
A comedy poised on the knife's edge of tragedy, the film is a gutsy, truthful, deeply rooted vision of contemporary American life, scaled to the size of an ordinary man. It's a humanist triumph strip-mined of bathos and confirmation that, after directing just three features, Payne has become the most gifted comic social satirist to hit our movies since Preston Sturges.Full Review

What makes this exquisitely observed slice of American screen realism transcend itself is finally its moral sensibility.Full Review
