It's both a daring composition and a repelling look at gender warfare. Full Review |

4/4 |
It is superbly executed and, for all its pitilessness, it's an intelligent dramatization of the impact that consumerist values have had on the psyche of the North American middle class at the end of the 20th century. Full Review |

You will not like Your Friends and Neighbors; it's intense, unflinching and uncomfortable. You won't look away from it, though, and you won't forget the people it showed you for a long time. Full Review |

YFAN is graphic without showing anything, incredible yet credible, engaging and morbidly fascinating. Full Review |

With LaBute, you get a filmmaker who cuts to the timeless heart of sexual warfare. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
Without the potential for decency to counterbalance and give context to the cruelty, "Your Friends & Neighbors" becomes a simple study in human depravity. Full Review |

Bleak, scathing, and utterly compelling!

LaBute's characters are just cold, pretty figures striking art film poses while spouting corrosive but predictably theatrical dialogues.
