Newsweek (Jeff Giles)
A brutal black comedy. It asks real questions and takes real chances. ...read the complete In the Company of Men movie review at Newsweek (Jeff Giles)
Variety (Dennis Harvey)
Pics greatest achievement is its sharply poignant dialogue which, despite the horrible consequences of the contest it describes, is also darkly amusing. ...read the complete In the Company of Men movie review at Variety (Dennis Harvey)
LA Weekly (Ernest Hardy)
A provocative, timely script full of gasp-inducing lines and scenes. ...read the complete In the Company of Men movie review at LA Weekly (Ernest Hardy)
Slate (David Edelstein)
A dazzling, repellent exercise in which the case against men is closed before it's opened. ...read the complete In the Company of Men movie review at Slate (David Edelstein)
Time (Richard Corliss)

San Francisco Chronicle (Ruthe Stein)

Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
It's possible that we may see no better movie this year than Neil LaBute's In the Company of Men. As disturbing as it is well-made, this low-budget indie is a thoroughly original piece of work. It's a dark, incisive, and funny drama about contemptible ...read the complete In the Company of Men movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
Duncan Stevens
