Full Plot Details

New York City, 1932. The country is in the throes of the Great Depression, the previous decade's boom of Italian, Irish, and Jewish immigrants has led to unprecedented urban expansion, and in the midst of an unseasonably warm autumn, steelworkers risk life and limb building skyscrapers high above the streets of Manhattan. In Men at Lunch, director Seán Ó Cualáin tells the story of "Lunch atop a Skyscraper," the iconic photograph taken during the construction of 30 Rockefeller Plaza that depicts eleven workmen taking their lunch break while casually perched along a steel girder - boots dangling 850 feet above the sidewalk, Central Park and the misty Manhattan skyline stretching out behind them. For 80 years, the identity of the eleven men - and the photographer that Immortalized them - remained a mystery: their stories, lost in time, subsumed by the fame of the image itself. But then, at the start of the 21st century, the photograph finally began to give up some of its secrets. Part homage, part investigation, Men at Lunch is the sublime tale of an American icon, an unprecedented race to the sky and the immigrant workers that built New York.

Movie Reviews

Monsters and Critics - 8/10 by Ron WilkinsonThe gritty beauty of the time of the original melting pot and the mysterious origins of the most famous photo in the world.
Shared Darkness - 8/10 by Brent SimonMen at Lunch loses sight of its lede and fumbles away viewer interest. The photo itself says more than this muddled documentary.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Nick SchagerGiven Men at Lunch's compelling argument that the identity of its anonymous ironworker subjects is beside the point—that mystery is a prime facet of its enduring appeal—the documentary's desire to determine who they really were comes across as unnecessary.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Inkoo KangRegrettably, Men at Lunch obsesses over disappearing ghosts instead of the records we already have and the history we should know.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Joe NeumaierBest of all, we take a trip back to Depression-era New York and grasp its resonance more than 80 years later. Delicious.
Irish Times - 6/10 by Donald ClarkeThe core image is striking, but it's not quite as "iconic" as claimed. The allusions to 9/11 are unnecessary. But Men at Lunch remains an honourable, worthwhile effort.
leonardmaltin.com - 5/10 by Leonard MaltinFew New York City photos are as familiar or evocative as the one that inspired the documentary "Men At Lunch."
The New York Times - 5/10 by Miriam BaleThe film feels meandering. Not only does it offer a jumble of ideas that aren’t followed through, but it’s also structured oddly.
The Hollywood Reporter - 5/10 by John DeForeCartoonish hyperbole aside, the investigation does have its high points.
The Dissolve - 5/10 by Noel MurrayJust as the documentary doesn’t really have the goods when it comes to solving the photograph’s mysteries, it only skims across the surface of what the picture represents.
