Leave your thoughts about The House of Yes.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenScores high for originality and gleeful bad taste, but is limited by its overall look of artificial staging. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesThe chemistry between Parker Posey and Josh Hamilton is nothing short of amazing. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film's major fault is that it is too stagy a production. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyBut it is bright, smart, sometimes wickedly funny, and crisply performed to the point where the acting seems richer than the script. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe House of Yes is what happens when a film takes the dysfunctional family melodrama to its farthest reaches. It's a bold, gutsy movie that's definitely not for everyone. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe House of Yes is knowingly overripe, a kitsch melodrama that dares to make incest sexy. |
| VarietyDennis Harvey[Waters] manages to open up the text while maintaining its perilous mix of arch wit, pathos and suspense. |
| Time OutDerek AdamsThere's something quite lethal about Parker Posey in pearls, and for that inspiration director Mark Waters deserves our gratitude. |
| Los Angeles TimesJohn AndersonIn addition to its terrifically bratty performance by the epically bratty Posey, House of Yes contains some of the smarter (and smarter-assed) writing of the year. |
| Apollo GuideGuy MacPhersonThis dark comedy will not be for everyone. But if you're in the mood for something perversely entertaining and disturbing, you might want to check it out. |
