Leave your thoughts about The Dinner.
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob Thomas"The Dinner" is an exercise in prolonged frustration. Check, please? |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinWhether or not you appreciate the film will largely depend on what you make of Coogan's performance-some are likely to perceive it as grating and over the top, while others might see it as a natural reaction to the tailored smoothness of his big brother. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThere are bumps along the way, transitions from one medium to another will do that, but this filmmaker and his fierce foursome won't be done till they take a piece out of you. It's a gripping psychological thriller with a sting in its tail. |
| Missoula IndependentMolly LaichTwo full hours with the self-absorbed, miserable characters in The Dinner may be too much to ask. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineSolid work and gripping drama are expected and again delivered with writer-director Oren Moverman's latest. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreI love the way the film sets us up with “types” — ambitious, narcissistic politico, “trophy” wife, loyal spouse, doting dad — and thoroughly upends them time and again. |
| Otroscines.comDiego LererA film that feels badly assembled and unclear. Perhaps the first artistic failure of Oren Moverman. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordJumping about in time from the dinner to Paul's perspective on the past and the evening in question with amateurish dissolves, "The Dinner" might keep you guessing but the road to the answer is arduous. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallAt the heart of it all is a moral dilemma about the responsibilities attached to being a parent and the question of just how far you would go to protect your child. Nor does it stop there. It goes on to ask what such protection actually means. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanDavid KaplanIts ambiguous conclusion should lend itself to animated post-movie discussions. |
