Leave your thoughts about Salesman.
| EmpireDavid ParkinsonAn uncompromising documentary which simply lays its subject bare and dares us not be moved by the raw humanity on display. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitAside from sales spiel, dialogue is spontaneous, nothing staged or repeated, no one looks at the camera or seems aware of it. |
| The New York Review of BooksMargot HentoffIt makes us think of money in a context we have ignored in our disgust at abundance and concern for the poor. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlA vérité masterpiece of the bulls**t that America sells itself, Albert and David Maysles’ Salesman, from 1968, documents a way of life that was dying even then — the soiling grind of getting by as a door-to-door salesman, talking people who don’t want you there into buying junk they don’t need with money they’re almost certainly short on. |
| Cinematic ReflectionsDerek SmithFunctions as both a tribute to their work ethic and a condemnation of the system that considers such a profession a healthy route to the American dream. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanIt hasn't dated much at all, which is both disturbing and enlightening. |
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerBeautifully edited by Charlotte Zwerin, this film is required viewing for anyone concerned with documentary. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinMore than 30 years removed from its theatrical release, Salesman looks less like the story of four traveling salesmen than the story of America itself. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenAn immersive drama that bridges real-life details with the catharses of parables with expressionistic on-the-fly camerawork, a blend of the textural and the poetic that’s hallucinatory and profound. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThis up close look at the anxious Bible salesmen trying to close the deal has become a cult classic documentary. |
