Review of The Party (2017)

By James Croot (201) for Stuff.co.nz (387) on 21 Feb 2018

A cross between Death at a Funeral and a Mike Leigh/Woody Allen-style domestic drama, Potter's twisty-turny narrative never feels forced if,…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 21 Feb 2018

Shot in a glossy, appealing black-and-white and filmed in a single location, The Party generates a pressure cooker atmosphere…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Alan Zilberman (171) for Washington Post (9,851) on 21 Feb 2018

Potter's cast never overstays its welcome, giving us plenty to think - and talk - about, and in a scant 71 minutes…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Andrea Chase (1,182) for Killer Movie Reviews (1,182) on 20 Feb 2018

Screamingly funny and scathingly intelligent, it's a cat-and-mouse game without the cat, and a perfect iteration of Sartre's contention that…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Jaime Fa De Lucas (47) for Culturamas (47) on 20 Feb 2018

Excessively theatrical, with characters who are not only clichés with legs but who devote themselves to exercising eccentricity and petulance…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Alberto Bermejo (41) for El Mundo (Spain) (301) on 20 Feb 2018

Magnificent work. [Full Review in Spanish]…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 17 Feb 2018

In just over 70 minutes, writer/director Sally Potter establishes a situation, introduces 8 characters, then, with one sentence, changes everything...like…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 17 Feb 2018

You leave the f--ked-up funhouse of Sausage Party thinking: Did I see this movie or hallucinate it? I mean that as high praise…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Kristy Puchko (422) for Riot Material (43) on 16 Feb 2018

As the credits rolled, I felt cheated, robbed of a climax that suited this sophisticated and deliciously dark comedy…

Review of The Party (2017)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 16 Feb 2018

It's easier to respect a filmmaker's sense of hopelessness when it's mixed with this much affection…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Robert Levin (797) for amNewYork (559) on 16 Feb 2018

You simply wish there were more of this. It's not something that comes around every day…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 16 Feb 2018

Sally Potter's brutally snappy take on the classic British drawing-room comedy hauls it into the 21st century with a cutting takedown of the…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Glenn Kenny (1,728) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 16 Feb 2018

The movie’s prime mover, Rogen, is a doge of stoner humor, and he shows incredible discipline in this film by saving the first weed joke…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Todd Jorgenson (1,852) for Cinemalogue (704) on 16 Feb 2018

The strong ensemble cast occasionally enlivens this muddled satire, which neither provides enough big laughs nor stirs up sufficient outrage…

Review of The Party (2017)

By David Kaplan (436) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 16 Feb 2018

How refreshing to see a feature-length film in only an hour and eleven minutes --- less than the average blockbuster and more entertaining…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Jeanne Kaplan (738) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 16 Feb 2018

It is a tour-de-force example of a character-driven movie with masterful writing. The dialogue is whip smart with barbs flying fast and furious…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Ella Taylor (978) for NPR (1,713) on 15 Feb 2018

Janet and her bickering guests come across as cartoon bourgeois, thinly-drawn and wooden in their line delivery like dummies of a ventriloquist…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for New York Times (5,786) on 15 Feb 2018

A 71-minute black-and-white movie that mostly comes off like a futile filmmaking exercise in how to move bodies inside a (largely) confined space…

Review of The Party (2017)

By April Wolfe (199) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Feb 2018

[Sally] Potter isn't what you'd call subtle, but she also knows not to overstay her welcome, and this pithy comedy is a masterclass in all…

Review of The Party (2017)

By Janire Zurbano (51) for Cinemanía (Spain) (558) on 13 Feb 2018

Acid and irreverent satire on post-Brexit British society. [Full review in Spanish]…
