Rymer's adaptation is a mixed bag. The film is well cast and played and it eventually achieves a compelling emotional power, but it's laborious. Sep 7, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Face to Face will never be mistaken for the most exciting film of the year, but it's a bold one nonetheless that rewards viewers with spiky wordplay and tart performances. Oct 17, 2013 | Rating: B | Full Review…

With the ensemble cast all instinctively attuned to Williamson's clever contrasting of the realities on the factory floor with the delusions of head office, Face to Face stares down doubters with pure intent. Sep 8, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The strengths of Face to Face far outweigh its shortcomings. A smart blend of social satire and moral think piece, it's resonant Australian movie-making best suited to a mature audience. Sep 8, 2011 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Initial distracting staginess aside, Face to Face is compelling cinema that showcases a marvellous group of performers. Sep 7, 2011 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

But, apart from an excess of hugging, which Hakim objects to too, this is a really riveting piece of drama which barely tests the talents of Michael Rymer as director, but my goodness he does a good job here. Sep 7, 2011 | Rating: 4/5

Despite being unable to break free of its theatrical origins, the film is never dull. Sep 7, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

For a film that is still mostly just people in a room talking -- and more importantly, for a low-budget Australian drama, a category that often rings alarm bells -- Face to Face impresses in just about every way. Sep 6, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Thematically rich and brilliantly performed, this is compelling and entertaining viewing, and also has something worth saying. Sep 6, 2011

What appeared simple (an angry young man lashing out against his boss for firing him) grows in complexity and intensity as the characters are made to reveal motives and grudges, weaknesses and ambitions that have festered beneath the surface Sep 3, 2011 | Full Review…

Pretty good for a movie mostly set in one room. Wasn't at all sure I would get into this one, but the characters are so well drawn you can't help but get hooked in.
