Glengarry Glen Ross
Directed by James Foley
1992
★ 6.7 editorial score
The best-acted film about work ever made: Mamet's salesmen speak in a rhythm nobody actually uses, and an ensemble of stars took deep pay cuts for the chance to say the lines.
“"Glengarry Glen Ross" is about actions that have real consequences, sometimes brutal ones. The reason the film prompts laughter, and finally elation, is not because it's jolly or has any feel-good words to live by. It's because of the utterly demonic skill with which these foulmouthed characters carve one another up in futile attempts to stave off disaster.”
