Leave your thoughts about In the Company of Men.
| Nitrate OnlineDan LybargerEerily unflinching film that features three first-rate performances. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumStunning, unsettling, beautifully written drama. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhat is remarkable is how realistic the story is. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliIn the Company of Men is anything but entertaining. It's virtually impossible to sit through this film without suffering bouts of intense discomfort, and therein lies its power. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsScott RenshawThe best American film to appear this year. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAs disturbing as it is well-made, this low-budget indie is a thoroughly original piece of work. |
| The A.V. ClubJohn KrewsonWriter/director Neil LaBute has taken the gender-issues film into uncharted, almost inhuman territory with this malevolently perfect exploration of male cruelty. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinLaBute directs this low-budget film with such spareness and precision, using such minimal yet effective backdrops, that in retrospect his color film almost seems to have been in black and white. Its ideas are that stark. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA scary film about the very polluted hearts of two nasty white-collar workers. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaI don't what finding humor in the most unsavory of situations says about me, but in terms of LaBute, it means that a first-class filmmaker has arrived on the scene. |
