Brad's Status Ratings & Reviews
Ryezoo
February 15, 2025
Status: Not worth the watch The acting is good I'll give it that, but this is a hard film to watch. You can't get behind Ben Stillers character. He just complains and complains because he's not as rich as his friends. All while he has a perfectly great life. He is a terrible character and the movie is sluggish. Scenes go on forever and the plot moves so slow. The best part about it is his son played by Austin Abrams. This wasn't for me and bummed because I do like Ben Stiller.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
You may have to be of a Certain Age for 'Brad's Status' to land. But for those who are, it rings loudly with hard truths.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
We knew this guy was a forgettable jerk not worth our time five minutes into this movie.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Stiller is in prime form here, smart and self-pitying in a way that's quintessentially his own.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
This is the rare mainstream film that addresses the complexities of real life. "Brad's Status" may motivate you to question your own.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
White - whose writing credits include Chuck & Buck (in which he starred) and Nacho Libre - has made his most mature and achingly truthful film yet.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The best performance, appropriately, comes from the actor you probably haven't heard of: Austin Abrams.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
[Mike] White and [Ben] Stiller go there and beyond, to slay the monsters of the id, while reveling skittishly in the perpetually neurotic human condition.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Brad's Status" gives full voice to ... midlife worries, but also to the reassurance that it's possible to recognize the things that really matter.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
An illuminating and sometimes annoying anatomy of a narcissistic midlife crisis ...
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Ben Stiller gives a remarkable performance in "Brad's Status," particularly considering that you want to strangle him for most of the movie.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Some of [Ben] Stiller's best performances have been in roles where he inhabits a kind, gentle neuroticism, uncomfortable in his own skin but never wanting to make anyone else too uncomfortable.
Observer
Rex Reed
Stiller does this kind of self-conscious neurotic to perfection, but this time he is subtler than ever, achieving a nuance that is something of a first.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The story is told from Brad's point of view, and the movie is filled with his voice-over musings, fantasy sequences, and flashbacks, but it remains oddly impersonal.
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
Brad's Status remains grounded in reality - it's gentle, human and unresolved. I loved it, but I don't think I'll ever be able to watch it again.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
As he proved in his first film, Chuck and Buck, and the TV series Enlightened, White has empathy for people on outside looking in, and Brad's Status is his most naked - and grim - exploration of envy yet.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
White excels at writing dislikable protagonists ... while giving his characters enough humanity not to be monsters, and the potential for change.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
If Brad's emotional status were a work of art, it would look a lot like an Edvard Munch scream, or maybe a dark little corner of Dante's Inferno.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Brad's Status offers usefully excruciating insights into the wild swings between hubris and self-laceration that fuel our daily efforts to solidify a coherent self.
Consequence
Allison Shoemaker
The whole film would sink like a stone if Stiller weren't so adept at playing exactly this type of man, a lonely guy who has let resentment sour nearly everything in his life.
