Sorry, Haters (2006) Synopsis:

"Sorry, Haters" is a psychological thriller with political and social undertones set in today's New York. It begins when Ashade, a Muslim cab driver (Abdellatif Kechiche) picks up Phoebe (Robin Wright Penn), a well-heeled professional woman. Although Ashade and Phobe have nothing in common, each holds troubling urges and secret motivations. When Phoebe takes an interest in exonerating Ashade's brothers, who is in jail, a series of events are set in motion resulting in the revelation of a devastating hidden truth.

Sorry, Haters (2006) DVD Review:

This last year saw a number of independent films which dealt with 9/11, or related issues. Flight 93 was the first reenactment film that saw theatrical release and Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center is another step film is taking towards the tragedies of that day, but all of these films are very much dealing with the specifics of September 11th, 2001. Sorry, Haters deals with the issues, but in a far different and in a more richly complex way. The characters in this film are not perfect and they each have their own problems. We are allowed into their worlds to experience the specific situations they encounter while other post 9/11 films have been far more concerned with events and actions over characters and emotions. Sorry, Haters also shows a very different side of the same issues, which is disturbingly filled with obsessive paranoia.

When Manhattan cab driver Ashade (Abdellatif Kechiche) picks up Phoebe (Robin Wright Penn) she asks him to drive her out of the city in an emotional state, where she watches a family. She begins to pour out her story in an uncomfortable scene where she forces her way into his apartment to use the restroom, but an uncomfortable situation quickly spirals out of control as she refuses to leave him alone. Phoebe is caught in lies, and immediately begins another lie, as well as having the strange habit of leave scratches on things she despises, often including herself. Meanwhile Ashade is simply trying to make it through his night.

Sorry, Haters is an intensely post 9/11 film, but it is far more importantly a psychological thriller. The disturbing elements in the film use 9/11 paranoia as a backdrop, but there is a simpler and more relational explanations to problems. There are a lot of similarities between this film and Collateral; both with spectacular acting, shot on digital, and intensely psychological.

The DVD has a great IFC special round table discussion of the film with Tim Robbins, Mary-Louise Parker, and others. They shed some insight, but mostly just raise more questions about the film without giving solid answers, which is why the commentary track is helpful. The commentary has director Jeff Stanzler and Robin Wright Penn, who is remarkable in this film.
