This is Altman at his easiest, his most unruffled, and complete.

The venerable Altman's distinctive eye remains undimmed.

Meanders aimlessly until eventually falling flat on its face.

Altman ... whose intuition for placing the camera in just the right spot has always been impressive. In the dance scenes, it's flawless.
March 19, 2004 | Rating: 5/5 -
Instead, it is the collective nature of the artistic medium that is the focus, Altman introducing an almost stream of conscience-like narrative that's mesmerizing and distant all at the same time.

Audience Reviews for The Company

May 05, 2011"The Company" is Robert Altman's most naturalistic and expressive film. The thing you have to understand about the picture is that Altman is not concerned with crafting a structured narrative. He is concerned with observing. "The Company" is a fly on the wall peek into the world of a ballet company (a fictional one of course). The behind the scenes-esque approach is intercut with beautiful dance sequences. Neve Campbell, Malcolm McDowell and James Franco bring a human, organic touch to the film. "The Company" is not for everyone. Your tolerance of the film will stem from your relationship to dance and your ability to be a voyeur in this world and not an active participant. In his penultimate feature film, Robert Altman was still finding new and interesting ways to tell a cinematic story.Steven C Super Reviewer

Apr 30, 2011This was a really bad movie, I'm sort of ashamed that Robert Altman was connected to this project. Then why did I give it three stars? Mainly because the ballet sequences were stunning. When everybody just shut their mouths and started spinning, it was just magic.Jennifer X Super Reviewer
