Leave your thoughts about In the Loop.
San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe language is brilliant, and the laugh lines come so quickly that you'd probably have to watch the movie twice to get them all. |
Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerHands down the funniest movie I've seen all year and also the smartest. |
The Film YapNick RogersNot since "Three Kings" has war satire felt as gloriously agitated and acerbic. Brimming with "The Office's" British-born briskness, Armando Ianucci's film doles out diabolical wit and depressing truths about corrosive careerism and boomeranging policies. |
rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperThe plot of this film is impenetrable but the dialog is hilarious and comes a staccato pace. This is a comedy of political backbiting, in-fighting, and out-fighting. |
Fan The FireSam BatheAccessible even for those not interested in politics, In The Loop is easily the funniest film of the year so far, and to boot, one of the most intelligent. |
At the MoviesBen LyonsYou feel like a fly on the wall inside of these meetings in the offices and you see how utterly ridiculous everybody is. |
Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonAs fine and hilarious a political comedy as any we've had in a generation. |
New York TimesA.O. ScottA sharply written, fast-talking, almost dementedly articulate satire on modern statecraft. |
MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersI didn't so much feel like there were cameras following all these people around so much as I imagined myself a fly on the wall catching all of their escapades, and it is that intimacy I think ultimately pushes things into the realm of greatness. |
eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiOne of the funniest films of the year and the most incisive piece of cinematic political satire to come along since Joe Dante's "Homecoming." |
