09/11/07
Based on a stage play by Jordi Galcerán, The Method delivers a darkly comic take on corporate competitiveness.
08/18/07
Undoubtedly some enterprising American film company will either undertake a remake or will pitch it as a new reality show ...
07/14/07
The movie doesn't trust that an illuminating comedy of pathetic people can be entertaining for long, so it sprinkles some hormones on the proceedings.
07/13/07
The film loses some of its sting once the race narrows, but its outcome and the politically, emotionally astute fade-out are suitably devastating.
07/12/07
the hollowness of it all becomes deafening
07/08/07
...May not shed any new light on corporate avarice or mendacity, but it gives a stronger. cast the opportunity to play a delicate game of psychological cat-and-mouse with the viewer.
07/06/07
The Method is a funny film that touches on a corporation’s responsibility to society, the price of ambition and the persistence of workplace sexism.
07/06/07
Top CriticSmartly and seamlessly blending a cast of talented Argentine and Spanish thesps, Pineyro seems to be testing how much cinema he can derive from a restricted space.
07/06/07
Top Critic...The Method is a tartly performed, compulsively watchable glass-tower And Then There Were None, in which the only blood that gets spilt comes from places that hurt the most: pride and ego.
07/05/07
Too clever by half, the plot contrivances deliver flippant satisfactions, and the agile performances keep the twists compelling, if less than credible.
07/05/07
There is a madness to The Method, and it is a fine madness.
07/05/07
If only the writing matched the film's style and acting.
06/29/07
Anyone who has ever had to undergo a grueling interview for a job or for college admission will relate to this witty albeit stagey story of seven candidates competing together in one room for one job.
06/22/07
Ostensibly-inspired by The Apprentice, what this reality movie's missing most is a cocky host with a cotton candy-colored comb-over. How do you say, 'You're fired!' in Spanish.
06/08/07
Gripping but insignificant, The Method suggests Glengarry Glenn Ross with its teeth knocked out by Tony Soprano and nursed back to health by Mark Burnett.
05/29/07
The film is delightful, like a quality Gilligan's Island for these nervous globalized times.
01/22/07
Una adaptación que no hace un gran esfuerzo por disimular su origen teatral y se sostiene gracias a un buen elenco y algunas sorpresas.
