Top CriticA dazzling, repellent exercise in which the case against men is closed before it's opened.
02/11/08
LaBute, a playwright and former drama teacher, has succeeded in creating a study of banal, everyday evil.
02/11/08
A bitterly promising screenwriting-directing debut from playwright Neil LaBute.
02/11/08
A dark, probing, truly disturbing exploration of yuppie angst and male anxieties as they manifest themselves in both the work and personal arenas.
02/11/08
Top CriticA highlight of the 97 Sundance Film Fest, LaBute's astonishing debut is a dark, probing, vastly entertaining satire about misogyny and sexual politics in the work as well as personal arena; LaBute is a major dialoguist to watch

I don't what finding humor in the most unsavory of situations says about me, but in terms of LaBute, it means that a first-class filmmaker has arrived on the scene.

What we also have here, in other words, is a movie in which next to nothing happens. See it only if you are having trouble sleeping.
