It's all in a day's work for high-flying literary agent Alexander; manuscripts to read, deals to be done, celebrity clients to be taken out to lunch, but first there is an author to deal with whose latest book the agent thinks is, frankly, not up to scratch. However he hadn't counted on the author's resourcefulness... This bitingly funny film takes you behind the scenes of the publishing world to witness the wheeling and dealing required to create the next best-seller.... (Full plot summary below)

Movie Reviews

Filmstar Magazine - 8/10 by Rob BuckleyTense, well-acted, and managing to avoid Misery territory, its only real misstep is the ending, which feels more like writer's paranoia - an ever-hovering spectre - than the natural outcome.
Times (UK) - 6/10 by Toby YoungThe Agent never really transcends its roots as a two-hander for the stage, but the director Lesley Manning does a good job of keeping things moving and production values are top notch.
Daily Express (UK) - 6/10 by Allan HunterAn intriguing two-hander that grows less persuasive as events unfold. There are hints of Pinter and signs of Mamet but nothing quite disguises the theatricality of the piece despite some sturdy acting.
Total Film - 6/10 by Simon KinnearWhile unmistakably a stage adaptation, Martin Wagner's droll dialogue makes the cut-and-thrust reasonably dynamic, even if Wagner's barbs about the parlous state of modern publishing will surprise no one.
Sky Cinema - 6/10 by Rob DanielA labour of love and principle, right down to the uncommerical ending, its message does lodge in the mind.
Little White Lies - 6/10 by Nikki BaughanAs a piece of small-scale British filmmaking it's an interesting enough diversion.
Film4 - 6/10 by Neil SmithLesley Manning's film never shakes off its theatrical roots but still manages to be sharp, funny and engrossing.
Time Out - 4/10 by Nina CaplanBeck does his best, and the dialogue crackles pleasantly, but he's a caricature: a lying, cheating smear of ordure who doesn't even like books. But his sin is worse than that - it's fiction's biggest. He's boring.
Independent (UK) - 4/10 by Robert HanksAnother low-budget home-grown product - a comedy with touches of very mild suspense - about an unsuccessful writer confronting his agent.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 4/10 by Tim RobeyThe advances up for grabs date the script instantly to a jollier time for publishing, but it's more of a bummer that Lesley Manning's direction is of the plonk-the-camera-anywhere variety.
