Bradley Whitford – ALLIANCE OF WOMEN FILM JOURNALISTS

FOR WORSE – Review by Sarah Ward

February 20, 2026February 20, 2026 Sarah Ward Amy Landecker, Bradley Whitford, Brainstorm Media, For Worse, missi pyle, Paul Adelstein

In For Worse, spying a moment when Amy Landecker and Bradley Whitford aren’t acting opposite a previous co-star is rare. Romantic comedies are about connections, after all, and the search for bonds that stick. A likeable addition to the genre, this reflective, frequently funny film about a newly divorced woman finds ways to emphasise that idea not just within but beyond its narrative — while matching a clear love of rom-coms, plus a commitment to expanding past the usual twentysomethings that typically monopolise their frames, with shrewd observations about the truth of experiencing life and love.

I’LL BE RIGHT THERE – Review by T.J. Callahan

August 27, 2024August 31, 2024 T. J. Callahan Bradley Whitford, brendan walsh, edie falco, I’ll Be Right There, jeannie berlin, Kayli Carter, Michael Beach, Michael Rapaport

Falco teams up with her Nurse Jackie helmer, Brendan Walsh, for this indie film that will resonate strongly with Boomer parents navigating the empty nest. I’ll Be Right There is witty, touching, humorous, chaotic, and most of all spot on. This is a film most viewers can see themselves in whether as an adult child or a parent.

HOW IT ENDS – Review by Valerie Kalfrin

July 14, 2021July 18, 2021 Valerie Kalfrin Bradley Whitford, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl Wein, helen hunt, how it ends, olivia wilde, zoe lister jones

Poets have wondered whether the world ends with a bang or a whimper, in fire or in ice. The Los Angelenos in the quirky yet poignant comedy How It Ends aren’t quite as philosophical in the shadow of a meteor about to strike the Earth. Yet such circumstances call for reflection, facing fears, and resolving past regrets.

THREE CHRISTS – Review by Brandy McDonnell

January 21, 2020January 24, 2020 Brandy McDonnell 0 Comments Bradley Whitford, Jon Avnet, Peter Dinklage, richard gere, Three Christs, Walton Goggins

The film is loosely drawn from Milton Rokeach’s controversial 1964 psychiatric case study “The Three Christs of Ypsilanti,” but you don’t have to do much research to realize that the movie has been embellished with many made-up plot machinations – including one big morbid twist that is totally made up – that mostly detract from the potentially fascinating story.
