Leave your thoughts about Glengarry Glen Ross.
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe single greatest pleasure of watching this film is seeing great actors reciting Mamet's lines. It's rumored that members of the cast came to the set on days when they weren't scheduled to film so they could watch their fellow stars perform. |
| WJFK-FM (CBS Radio)Kevin McCarthyThe overall film, writing and acting are so darn good that I watched it and then immediately started it over again. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThis brilliant, gutsy film features a nervy script by David Mamet and career-topping performances by Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce and Alec Baldwin. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe movie version, directed with unobtrusive precision by James Foley, stays amazingly true to the play's feisty spirit. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThe pleasure of this unique film comes in watching superb actors dine on Mamet's pungent language like the feast it is. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe reason the film prompts laughter, and finally elation, is not because it's jolly or has any feel-good words to live by. It's because of the utterly demonic skill with which these foulmouthed characters carve one another up in futile attempts to stave off disaster. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyAs fierce as it is funny. Rarely does does a film sustain such a fever pitch of dramatic intensity. One of the very best of 1992. |
| EmpireBarry McIlheneyA searing indictment of all sorts of American dreams, Glengarry Glen Ross is a welcome if foul-mouthed reminder of just what it takes for a lot of folk to make it through the working day. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarThe reason the film prompts laughter, and finally elation, is not because it's jolly or has any feel-good words to live by. It's because of the utterly demonic skill with which these foulmouthed characters carve one another up in futile attempts to stave off disaster. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittFew contemporary writers for the stage, TV and cinema have come close to David Mamet for the quality, quantity and variety of their work. Among its peaks, and characteristic of his highly individual ear for American demotic at its most creatively and colourfully obscene, is Glengarry Glen Ross. |
