Critics Sentiment
Emma Thompson narrates about Earth as a pale blue dot
Tim Mooney overdoses on antidepressants after Patricia ends his relationship
The film plummets from the touching romance between Brandy and Tim to the devastating overdose sequence when parental interference destroys their relationship.
Critics found Men, Women & Children to be a technically proficient but emotionally punishing examination of technology's impact on human relationships. The film starts strongly with effective performances and interesting premise, but becomes increasingly depressing through its middle act before offering some redemptive moments. While praised for its ensemble cast and Reitman's direction, many reviewers felt it was too heavy-handed and preachy in its anti-technology messaging.
