The movie is too shrewd to qualify as a jeremiad, but underneath the comedy are boiling undercurrents of anger and despair.

... Barry Levinson's bizarre, blundering, pointless misreading of Philip Roth's penultimate novel.

Rating: 3/5 --
Often absurd, biting, and offbeat in ways that are surprising and often refreshing.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Pacino gives a refreshingly quiet and understated performance with poignant moments of vulnerability. It is the most consistent factor in a film that is frustratingly inconsistent.

[The film] features a poignant leading performance by Al Pacino as an actor in his mid-60s who, after taking a literal plunge off stage, goes into seclusion at his weirdly empty country house.
Washington Post
[The Humbling] is too impolitic to be celebrated in art-house theaters and too esoteric to be featured in today's sequel-driven multiplexes.

For all the positive aspects of THE HUMBLING, some scenes bog down the narrative.

Product Description:
Director Barry Levinson reteams with actor Al Pacino in THE HUMBLING, a black comedy about an aging actor. Pacino plays Simon Axler, a successful actor who, as the film opens, tumbles from the stage while performing Shakespeare. He's suffering from mental issues, having trouble differentiating between reality and fantasy, and he's decided to retire from the stage. Into his house moves Pegeen (Greta Gerwig), the daughter of Simon's old acting friends. She's had a crush on him since she was young, and soon the two develop a strange, dysfunctional relationship that draws the ire of her parents. Meanwhile, Simon's agent Charles Grodin tries to get him to work again. THE HUMBLING screened at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
