Leave your thoughts about Us and Them.
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisWith frothing energy and unfettered vulgarity, Us and Them lances the boil of working-class grievance and watches as the infection spreads to everyone in its path. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonUs and Them feels precisely like the type of movie we so desperately need right now. |
| HollywoodInToto.comChristian TotoWho knew an Occupy Wall Street-approved plan would end in violence? |
| ComingSoon.netJoshua StarnesNot as sharp as it thinks it is but funnier and better handled than it sounds from its description, Us and Them benefits from a solid sense of humor and a sure hand keeping the tone steady even as it changes direction regularly. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreLike good satire, Us and Them burns, bites and wounds as it lands its punches. Like stumbling satire, the tone feels off as writer-director Martin lets things go too far even as Danny’s mates start to absorb his message. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoUs And Them might be a little slighter than expected, but Jack Roth's charismatic fire-starter has enough anarchistic anger to appreciate. |
| Dog and WolfAlexa DalbyIt feels as if there are three different films struggling to get out and though it can be tense, this can undercut it at times. However, it's sparkily shot and edited, and the camerawork is interesting. |
| Movies in FocusNiall BrowneWriter-Director Joe Martin's Us And Them is a class war, social commentary filtered through a post-Quentin Tarantino cinematic world. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerIt’s a decent concept for any sort of movie – a thriller, a horror flick, a comedy – but the problem here is that writer-director Joe Martin never quite decides which one he wants to make. |
| Screen InternationalNikki BaughanLooking and sounding disarmingly like father Tim, Roth imbues Danny with an edgy vim and vigour - reminiscent of his father’s early performances for Quentin Tarantino - and palpable vulnerability which draws sympathy for his righteous anger, however misjudged it may be. |
