Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

shoprj This is the worst movie i have ever watched. Its full of charters pretending to be important diplomats while constantly yelling and using language that becomes the story line. Do not bother, hell i don't know why i'm bothering writing this review. in the theme of the movie, It F**king S**ks.

sesht One of the best political satires (and comedies) ever made (think of the Seinfeld in-joke episode around 'War, what's it good for' while I was watching it). For the actual quote that makes this tale completely spiral outta control, you gotta watch this one.Brought my attention to 'My girl' and 'Veep' suck-up, Anna Chlumsky, and it's (aptly) ironic that almost all of the 'In the loop' alum are a part of the ongoing HBO political satire, 'Veep' (including one of the main makers, Armando Iannucci).Tom Hollander is fantastic, but the real scene-stealer, swearing and all, is Peter Capaldi (recently wasted in the Brad Pitt Zombie-actioner, 'World War Z, and amazingly perfect as the new Doctor). Gandolfini is as solid as anything he's been in, and switches on both menacing as well as 'gentle-bear' in spite of the cut-throat political setting. The only flaw, IMO? Steve Coogan, who's wasted (unless I'm missing the relevance/significance of his casting) in the 2 scenes he's in, that could've been filled in by just about anyone. Timely and topical, this might not change anything, but is peppered with 'in' jokes on the political processes in the UK and in Washington, and is a fun way to pass one's time. Almost every character is given something substantial to do, and the makers never lose sight of the fact that the humor is what this is about, and ensure its presence in spades.For a change, it did have a decent run during it's specialty release in '09, when I got to watch it more than once.

andre andreas This is a very funny movie. If anyone says otherwise then they do not want to accept the fact that they can not understand English. You might bring up the fact that you live in the U.S. but hey I am from the U.S. and I think this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. If you enjoy The Office (English or even American version) then you will def. enjoy this movie. It is filmed in a way that portrays a realistic and chaotic (politics is always chaotic) scene. Very clever and very well written. The script is great and the characters play the roles very well. This is a must see movie and belongs in the top list of anyone's comedy rankings. Take my word and watch the movie before you decide if I was helpful or not.

Matic Boh Although not as emphatic and cynical in its style, In the Loop does in many ways resemble Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece Dr. Strangelove, as its creator Armando Iannucci manages to produce a refreshingly intelligent comedy, that explores the behaviour of American and British political bureaucrats during the Iraq war era, in a witty and often hilarious manner. While Iannucci's trademark mockumentary style of filming adds to the idea of authenticity of the events depicted, the film's outstanding feature is undoubtedly the terrific writing that is based on a very colorful language and presents the audience with great dialogue, as one is exposed to an abundance of sidesplitting one-liners. The film sadly losses some of its momentum towards the end, and the pace eventually begins to undermine the clever writing, yet In the Loop deserves to be recognized as one of the sharpest political satires made in recent years.
