A dazzling, repellent exercise in which the case against men is closed before it's opened. Full Review |

|
|
LaBute, a playwright and former drama teacher, has succeeded in creating a study of banal, everyday evil. Full Review |

3/4 |
A bitterly promising screenwriting-directing debut from playwright Neil LaBute. Full Review |
||
|
|
A dark, probing, truly disturbing exploration of yuppie angst and male anxieties as they manifest themselves in both the work and personal arenas. Full Review |
||
|
A- |
A 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 Full Review |

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. Full Review |
