Film Review – For Worse

Amy Landecker has been an actress of note for the last two decades, making memorable appearances here and there in television and movies, consistently working, which is no easy task. She assumes a little more control over her creative output with “For Worse,” making her feature-length debut as a screenwriter and director, and the endeavor certainly resembles a first film, remaining small in scale and completely attentive to characterization. “For Worse” is a comedy about post-divorce experiences, with Landecker taking the main role as a woman in her fifties trying to keep up with new experiences while surrounded by twentysomethings. It’s the stuff of sitcoms, and there’s certainly a touch of network T.V. in the writing, but Landecker wins on charm here, delivering a lively performance in a likeable picture that’s often funny and occasionally real, having a little fun with life’s challenges and humiliations.
