Critic Reviews of "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men"
NPRJuly 04, 2010Faced with the unenviable choice between honoring his daunting inspiration and telling his own story, the director shoots straight down the middle -- and misses both targets.
Philadelphia InquirerNovember 12, 2009Offers is the opportunity for a bunch of actors, many of them tethered to TV series, to deliver theatrical monologues pulsing with misogyny and narcissism. It's like second-rate Neil Labute.
At the MoviesSeptember 28, 2009I worry that this film is static enough and stiff enough that it's going to keep people away from discovering David Foster Wallace if they haven't read him.
At the MoviesSeptember 28, 2009Tthough this experiment doesn't quite succeed, there's enough intelligence and insight in this movie to make it worth the attempt.
TIME MagazineSeptember 28, 2009[Krasinski's] generosity of intent is really the main impression that remains. He read, he loved, and unfortunately, he did not conquer.
Reel Film ReviewsDecember 09, 2011...far more successful as an actor's showcase than as a fully-realized movie...
Common Sense MediaDecember 30, 2010Intense look at gender and relationships is best for adults.
Moving Pictures MagazineMarch 25, 2010John Krasinski takes a distinct, deliberate step away from romantic comedies for a darkly comic look at human interaction.
Philadelphia WeeklyMarch 19, 2010Everywhere this poor lady tries to go, there's always a guy or two loudly performing a David Foster Wallace monologue within earshot.
Austin ChronicleNovember 13, 2009Krasinski re-creates the interviews using Wallace's original, but this isn't exactly a letter-of-the-law adaptation -- he tightens the interviews and defangs some of the language.
