Reviews for In the Company of Men
... a hard movie to watch and — though it has its virtues — even harder to defend.

Prepare for the conversation to grow heated.

A scary film about the very polluted hearts of two nasty white-collar workers.
02/28/02
Despite our feeble attempts to delude ourselves into thinking Chad and Howard could never exist in real life, their words and actions still haunt us after the credits roll because, deep inside, we know they're real.
02/27/01
This is a powerfully disturbing film about sexism, cruelty and the price you pay for making a pact with the devil.
01/01/00
It's an impressive film, and all the more so for being a debut feature. If this LaBute guy can keep his edge on a bigger budget, he's one to watch.
01/01/00
A disturbing, well observed screen debut from director LaBute, while the three central performances are spot on.
01/01/00
In the Company of Men is a singularly unpleasant movie. And from the point that Chad and Howard settle on Christine, it's an increasingly unbelievable one, too.
01/01/00
It's a creepy piece of work that gets under your skin, ruffles your sensibilities and just won't leave you alone.
01/01/00
A powerful moviegoing experience. Take my advice, and watch it with someone you love.
01/01/00
LaBute's debut film is hard to describe though the plot is simple enough, but this is not a film that depends on plot.
01/01/00
This is a fully realized movie, whose intelligence -- despite its grim findings -- dwarfs any Hollywood production. It’s a film to admire -- even if it leaves you cold.
01/01/00
Top CriticA stark, nasty little tale of competition, power and cruelty.
01/01/00
The end is supposed to make us giddy with a plot well spun; instead, it leaves us flat.
01/01/00
LaBute's film is not easy to watch, deal with or understand. But its effect is unmistakable.
01/01/00
Undeniably, LaBute is onto something.
01/01/00
One of those rarest of rare breeds -- a movie that doesn't just ignore Hollywood conventions, but openly flouts them.
01/01/00
Top CriticLaBute directs this low-budget film with such spareness and precision, using such minimal yet effective backdrops, that in retrospect his color film almost seems to have been in black and white. Its ideas are that stark.
