April 16, 2011Neil LaBute's follow up to "In the Company of Men" is another brilliantly vicious and savage dark dramedy... this time focusing on the destruction of a few unhappy couples and the web of "relationships" spawned during and in the aftermath. LaBute is in a league of his own when it... read more

February 14, 2011Neil LaBute's "Your Friends & Neighbors" is quite possibly the meanest film I have ever seen. These characters are some of, if not, the worst I have ever come across. What makes them worse than, say Hannibal Lecter, is how they stealthily move behind each others backs to wound ea... read more

April 29, 2009its an ok movie a bit weird and some of the time im not to shore as to what is actually going on really but i guess watchable but isnt that interesting to be honest with not much of a storyline

November 12, 2008Another Interesting movie by LaBute, & it was the first time that I didn't find Stiller annoying

January 4, 2008a brutal black comedy about sex and relationships. nearly as painful as todd solondz' happiness and almost as harsh as labute's wicked first feature, in the company of men. there's not a really likeable character in this film. you've been warned

November 30, 2007I bought this VHS at random in a dollar bin. It made me want to take a shower for eternity.

April 7, 2012Aside from a few key scenes, "Your Friends & Neighbors" is not as uncomfortable as the other two offerings in Neil LaBute's unofficial trilogy. That being said, it is dark and mean, but delivers its cynicism with a good sense of humor. All actors do a great job, but Jason Patric... read more

June 23, 2010I like how LaBute builds tension with just actors. It's something he should remember when signing on to do his next film. He used to be able have a smart, gifted young cast take his words and throw them into an emotional galaxy worth watching. Now, not so much.
This is a rough, ... read more -
April 17, 2010Filled with his requisite casually toxic character's, Neil LaBute's little drama follows the lives of two couples and a bachelor friend who is quite possibly the most sociopathic character one might encounter outside of a horror film.
Well-acted and filled with dark humor in bet... read more

It is superbly executed and, for all its pitilessness, it's an intelligent dramatization of the impact that consumerist values have had on the psyche of the North American middle class at the end of t... Full Review

With LaBute, you get a filmmaker who cuts to the timeless heart of sexual warfare.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
It's refreshing to see a movie like this -- something that's edgy and entertaining, and doesn't try to appeal to 'the masses.' Full Review

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Confuses a kind of juvenile titillation with insight and treats the ability to make audiences squirm as a pinnacle of film art. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
LaBute's Your Friends and Neighbors is to In the Company of Men as Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction was to Reservoir Dogs. Full Review

J. Hoberman, Village Voice
A fascinatingly mean-spirited erotic comedy set in a realm of self-absorbed fantasy and overdetermined intergender misunderstanding. Full Review

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
The film has no shape or narrative force. It merely chronicles events. Full Review
