Leave your thoughts about Price Check.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfPosey is bravely unlikable and invested in Walker's script, turning Price Check from a mechanical comedic routine about office politics into something complex and occasionally dangerous. I wasn't aware she was even capable of this. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyWalker finds a few fresh veins to mine, and some nice performances. |
| The PlaylistGabe ToroPrice Check never successfully makes the shift into a higher-stakes scenario, and the chief culprit is a detour to Los Angeles. The tension between Susan and Pete suddenly lapses into a far more conventional direction. |
| New York PostKyle SmithA hilarious Parker Posey provides her customary blast of brittle energy in Price Check, an engaging corporate comedy. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinWriter-director Michael Walker keeps a firm grip on his smart material, offering up big laughs, lots of recognizable behavior and, in the end, a wistful glimpse at life's inevitable priorities. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanPosey, her attention divided up into slivers, is funny as hell, but she's also terrifying in her evocation of a kind of moment-to-moment PowerPoint existence. |
| ScreenAnarchyChase WhaleYou can usually count on Parker Posey. That said, it's a real shame to watch her admirable talents dry up in the easily forgettable Price Check. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweA prime example of the type of well-produced, smartly cast independent features that Sundance has been helping launch into the theatrical marketplace over the past few years. |
| NPRScott TobiasPosey dominates Price Check, mostly for the better: Whatever observations Walker's film makes about the perils of ambition or women in the workplace register entirely through her. She's simply funnier and more interesting than anyone else, and Walker has written her a complex character whose immediate wants are clearer than her long-term ones. |
| Slant MagazineR. Kurt OsenlundThe script is teeming with informed jargon about the business of supermarket pricing, and with actors like Posey as its vessel, the dialogue rings with an unlikely blend of fascination and farce. |
