Your Friends & Neighbors Reviews
The show’s creator, Jonathan Tropper, has done something interesting with his star. There’s a frisson of recognition that happens when you put Hamm in a role like this.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 9, 2025
If you strip away the non-stop banter some of the coming-into-my-own dramatic arcs of side characters, and that aforementioned satirical underscoring, there is a pretty fun dark comedy bubbling under here.

This honorable follow-up to LaBute's stunning debut, In the Company of Men, which also dissects sexual politics, is well acted by the entire ensemble.
| Original Score: B | Mar 26, 2009
The actors are fine across the board, but the stand-out is Catherine Keener.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 9, 2005
It's both a daring composition and a repelling look at gender warfare.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 1, 2004
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 the 20th century.

You will not like Your Friends and Neighbors; it's intense, unflinching and uncomfortable. You won't look away from it, though, and you won't forget the people it showed you for a long time.

If you can stand to watch Your Friends & Neighbors, you won't forget it.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 15, 2002
The uneasiness and ambivalence the men and women in this drama experience with each other reflects the continuing sexual wars in society at large.

YFAN is graphic without showing anything, incredible yet credible, engaging and morbidly fascinating.

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

Without the potential for decency to counterbalance and give context to the cruelty, "Your Friends & Neighbors" becomes a simple study in human depravity.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 27, 2001
LaBute's Your Friends and Neighbors is to In the Company of Men as Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction was to Reservoir Dogs.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Your Friends and Neighbors is often bleak and occasionally nightmarish, but also extremely funny!
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2000
Confuses a kind of juvenile titillation with insight and treats the ability to make audiences squirm as a pinnacle of film art.
