Reviews for Glengarry Glen Ross
Despite an acidic world-view, it generates a real feeling of the worth of artistic achievement and personal struggle.
For all of [its] advantages, Glengarry Glen Ross is as hopelessly stagebound as any theatrical adaptation I've ever seen.
Mamet has a special gift for drawing realistic portriats of lowlifers who are harsh but also funny, not to speak of his unique skill at contsructing tension-ridden situations; his salesmen are a far cry from Arthur Miller's Loman in Death of a Salesman.
David Mamet's screenplay is brutal and snappy, and the cast is an acting connoisseur's dream
It is a testament to the power of Jack Lemmon's performance that it ranks as one of the most recognized of his accomplished career.
All of the actors are great, clearly enjoying the opportunity to sink their teeth into some meaty lines.
A stage play that never quite makes the transition into the medium of film.
