Review of The Family Fang (2016)

By Dann Gire (642) for Chicago Daily Herald (649) on 04 May 2016

Review of The Family Fang (2016)

By John Hartl (735) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 04 May 2016

Review of The Family Fang (2016)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for New York Observer (1,400) on 04 May 2016

There's nothing predictable about any of the angles, and Mr. Abaire's script reveals a surprise around every corner…

Review of The Family Fang (2016)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 03 May 2016

A nuanced and funny look at art, creative genius, and mental instability, The Family Fang doesn't swing for the fences with big, overdone antics…

Review of The Family Fang (2016)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 03 May 2016

Jason Bateman's sophomore film, a step up from his debut (Bad Words), shows a predilection for sentimentality masked in eccentricity...Walken…

Review of The Family Fang (2016)

By Josh Lasser (114) for IGN Movies (1,472) on 02 May 2016

It begins at a high enough level and the cast is enjoyable enough throughout that The Family Fang isn't bad as much as it just isn't as good…

Review of The Family Fang (2016)

By Mike M (2,387) on 01 May 2016

The story was funny and poignant. Jason Bateman did a wonderful job of directing and acting in this movie…

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for indieWire (3,631) on 28 Apr 2016

Review of The Family Fang (2016)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 28 Apr 2016

The movie captures so well the push-pull of family dysfunction that, after a while, even the Fangs’ extreme eccentricities seem routine…

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 28 Apr 2016

Kidman works up to a fine but somewhat under-motivated fury…

Review of The Family Fang (2016)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for New York Post (6,650) on 27 Apr 2016
