| Boston PhoenixJason O'BryanThe place where consciousness runs into itself is where this author reigned supreme, and Krasinski brings Wallace's concentric, self-aware ironies to the screen. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasWill surely allow you to see John Krasinski in a different light, both as a filmmaker and as a dramatic actor. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanAt times, the movie could have been called "Me and You and Every One of the Bastards We Know," but Krasinski preserves Wallace's whooshing roller coasters of words, powered by the fuel of confession. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJames GreenbergOne hell of a date movie. A surgical examination of the male psyche based on David Foster Wallace's book and written and directed by John Krasinski, there is plenty of food for thought and argument. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonA haunting exploration into men's minds that becomes too much of a psychological study to qualify as accessible entertainment for most. |
| New York Magazine/VultureDavid EdelsteinJohn Krasinski's adaptation of David Foster Wallace's ... Brief Interviews With Hideous Men works only in spurts, but when it does, it's enough to remind us how much deeper our dramatists could drill -- and of the magnitude of Wallace's loss. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoIntense look at gender and relationships is best for adults. |

| Filmcritic.comChris BarsantiKrasinski stitches these raw blasts of the subconscious with interludes that exude a pleasing, Woody Allen-esque tone, all fall colors and potent theorizing over white wine |
| Boxoffice MagazineRay GreeneBrief Interviews With Hideous Men is a noble failure of a film that's worth a lot more than many of the safer if more achieved works premiering beside it at Sundance 2009. |
