Critic Reviews for Face to Face

All Critics (11) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (1)

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.

Paul Byrnes
Sydney Morning Herald
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.

Glenn Dunks
Onya Magazine
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.

Leigh Paatsch
Herald Sun (Australia)
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.

Initial distracting staginess aside, Face to Face is compelling cinema that showcases a marvellous group of performers.

Thomas Caldwell
Cinema Autopsy
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.

Margaret Pomeranz
At the Movies (Australia)
Despite being unable to break free of its theatrical origins, the film is never dull.

Simon Weaving
Screenwize
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.

Anthony Morris
The Vine
Thematically rich and brilliantly performed, this is compelling and entertaining viewing, and also has something worth saying.

Erin Free
FILMINK (Australia)
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

Audience Reviews for Face to Face

Sep 07, 2015

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.
