Brad's Status
The Press Reviews
As he proved in his first film, Chuck and Buck, and the TV series Enlightened, White has empathy for people on outside looking in, and Brad's Status is his most naked - and grim - exploration of envy yet. Full Review
Starting from a single key insight into human behaviour - the natural compulsion to compare oneself to others - White has spun a funny, empathetic and surprisingly grounded comedy that itself defies obvious comparisons. Full Review
"Brad's Status" at its best is genuinely thought-provoking. Full Review
As dad obsessed with his son's college applications, Ben Stiller is at his best in Mike White's high-anxiety satire. Stiller and White: they make you laugh till it hurts. Full Review
Does the world need another Ben-Stiller-as-malcontent-white-man movie? When it's as sharp a satire as writer-director Mike White has made, absolutely! Full Review
A droll and affecting male-midlife-crisis comedy. Full Review
While White might not make for an entirely convincing film-maker, his script still reveals his considerable skills as a humourist. Full Review
