...an amateurish, context-free trainwreck devoid of positive attributes...

| Original Score: .5/4 | Jun 10, 2023

It's disturbing and challenging and will worry away at you... But, that said, it is its own genre, is peculiarly riveting, and is only 87 minutes.

Hoy d%uFFFDa, (...) una pieza como Edmond no resulta todo lo inquietante que deber%uFFFDa. Eso quiz%uFFFDs sea lo verdaderamente llamativo.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 27, 2008

"Edmond" is beyond black comedy, it's a comedy in almost total stygian darkness. A comedy where the laughs make you cough up razor blades.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 20, 2008

"Edmond" is presented as the cold truth, but it's really just the truth of how the masculinist Mamet feels.

| Original Score: C | Jul 30, 2007

David Mamet's genius as a weaver of words and observer of human interaction is put on full display here ....

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 7, 2007

This is a small film with a big payback, like a series of tableaux that illustrate how a mildmannered Mr Everyman can become viciously untamed.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 6, 2007

Is this about the nihilistic plight of the alienated, or just nihilistic? A coal-dark satire, or just needlessly dark? The uncomfortable Edmond asks more questions than it answers.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2007

It plays like a low-cal Falling Down, with all the rage of Michael Douglas's office malcontent but none of his dark humour. Possibly the weakest thing Mamet has ever written.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 6, 2007

It didn't work.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 6, 2007

Edmond is a slight, self-consciously arty affair that starts off like a gloomy version of Falling Down before petering out with a deeply anti-climatic ending.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2007

The Falling Down-meets-After Hours pitch and plum cast (William H Macy, Rebecca Pidgeon, Bai Ling, Mena Suvari) look tempting, but it's not a stretch to see why it's sat on the shelf for two years.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2007

If it's a relic you're determined to catch at the movies this week, check out Edmond.

| Jul 6, 2007

The great man lets rip with deafening flatulent macho nonsense in a truly awful movie, one of the very worst US pictures to be released here in years.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 6, 2007

This is not an easy watch, but it is awfully honest art.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 6, 2007

The director fails to breathe any sort of life into a piece practically carbon-dated by its flailing assaults on political correctness.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2007

Be thankful it's not longer; at 80 minutes, one may still derive some perverse pleasure from the silliness of it all.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Jul 6, 2007

Whilst William H. Macy is as rewarding as ever, this has not transferred well from the stage.

Incredulity grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 6, 2007
