Leave your thoughts about Edmond.
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelMichele KennerEven William H. Macy's raw, spare performance cannot save Edmond from distastefulness almost beyond imagination. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaComeçando com a promessa de se revelar um novo Um Dia de Fúria ("Uma Noite...", neste caso), o filme jamais alcança a intensidade esperada e se enfraquece ainda mais em seu terceiro ato desajeitadamente satírico. Mas Macy está genial. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIt's a wordy script and, in its own profane way, a beautiful one, but it's the words that aren't said that are the most crucial. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanA consistently stimulating viewing experience. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)It's a wordy script and, in its own profane way, a beautiful one, but it's the words that aren't said that are the most crucial. |

| DVD ReviewFelix Gonzalez Jr.David Mamet's genius as a weaver of words and observer of human interaction is put on full display here .... |
| VarietyScott FoundasDespite agreeably short running time and committed performances, Edmond is rendered inert by its stagy atmosphere and failure to fully mine the depths of its protagonist's complex psyche. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzNone of it rings true for even a NYC second. |
