Critic Reviews

One hell of a date movie. A surgical examination of the male psyche based on David Foster Wallace's book and written and directed by John Krasinski, there is plenty of food for thought and argument.Full Review

James Greenberg
The Hollywood Reporter

Raises the question of whether Krasinski made this movie because he really loves Wallace’s work, or because just he wanted to show Hollywood that the loveable doof from The Office can actually act.Full Review

Noel Murray
The Onion (A.V. Club)

At times, the movie could have been called "Me and You and Every One of the Bastards We Know," but Krasinski preserves Wallace's whooshing roller coasters of words, powered by the fuel of confession.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

An insightful, sharply written and unsettlingly amusing exploration of the darker elements of masculinity.Full Review

Claudia Puig
USA Today

In his directorial debut, Krasinski doesn't seem to believe in his hideous men so much as he appears intimidated by them.Full Review
