…while Glengarry Glen Ross doesn’t moralise, it smacks of Mamet’s voice of experience, and anyone whose worked at the sharp end of sales will recognise the dehumanising tone of the events that play out here…

Incredible performances galore! A magnificent script splashed on the screen by an electric, powerful cast. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 9, 2024

A interesting but deficient film... As cinema, it lacks style and identity. [Full review in Spanish]

Glengarry Glen Ross picks you up and throws you against a wall; then it holds you there for 90 minutes. That may not sound like a good time, but it's damned good filmmaking.

| May 9, 2023

I recommend Glengarry to all of you, but do not hope to leave the cinema with the last vestige of your faith in human nature still intact.

Clearly some of the best work that the likes of Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin, and even the great Jack Lemmon, have ever done.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 22, 2019

While the dark view of human nature and brutal dialogue might keep faint hearts from the film, the cast manages to individualize and humanize the pugilistic wordplay so that its expressiveness never veers into offensiveness.

Not an enjoyable watch, but in its own way it is exhilarating.

As an expression of a great script, it really can't be beat.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 20, 2015

Head of the direction duties, James Foley, strings it together well, making it harmonise like the musical piece it has succeeded to be.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 5, 2013

As you would expect from a Mamet play, the dialogue sizzles.

| Original Score: A- | Mar 17, 2011

...the most effective big-screen translation of a Mamet stage play.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 6, 2010

The overall film, writing and acting are so darn good that I watched it and then immediately started it over again.

For anyone who loves sharp dialogue, compelling characters, and a stinging social rebuke, Glengarry Glen Ross is not to be missed.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 10, 2008

Mamet reveals his exceptional talent for writing almost poetic working-class vernacular, scores his major implicit thematic thrusts against the nature of the way business-at-large is conducted.

Full Review | Jun 9, 2008

Mamet has a special gift for drawing portriats of lowlifers who are harsh but also funny, his salesmen are a far cry from Arthur Miller's Loman in Death of a Salesman.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 17, 2006

David Mamet's play about the wheelings and dealings of real-estate salesmen gets dedicated playing from a splendid cast, but gains nothing by the transfer from stage to screen.

| Jun 24, 2006

This brilliant, gutsy film features a nervy script by David Mamet and career-topping performances by Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce and Alec Baldwin.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 26, 2006

As fierce as it is funny. Rarely does does a film sustain such a fever pitch of dramatic intensity. One of the very best of 1992.

Words fly with the speed and impact of bullets.
