What to Know

Critics Consensus

This adaptation of David Mamet's play is every bit as compelling and witty as its source material, thanks in large part to a clever script and a bevy of powerhouse actors.

Henry Sheehan

Hollywood Reporter

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.

Todd McCarthy

Variety

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.

Time Out

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.

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

Steve Warren

Southern Voice (Atlanta)

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.

unknown H Literally the worst movie I've ever seen. Nothing happens and then it's over. Absolute garbage Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review Aidan B Solid performances and an edge of your seat story make "Glengarry Glen Ross" a marvelously great film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Deke P Why Mamet gets sky high reviews: Conservatives admire him for finally becoming a conservative, writing for NATIONAL REVIEW! Lefties love this movie because it was written in Mamet's earlier leftist period. It portrays American capitalism in the harshest light. Much like 'Death of a Salesman'. Still, as one who has been a salesman, and knows how hard it can be, this dialogue is almost unbearably depressing and unenjoyable. Hard to believe such ugliness could long be tolerated, or effective in any business. But Mamet boiled it all down to a very short, extremely volatile and dramatic day or two.Great cast, big stars. Classic iconic scenes, especially Alec Baldwin laying down the ruthless challenge to make sales or get fired. Jack Lemmon great, and looked old and washed up.The movie is over 30 years old now, & I just now watched it for the first time, on tv, April 2024. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Matthew R Watched about 35 - 40 minutes. The foul language didn't bother me as much as the wasted talents of Ed Harris & co. All you have are three characters who complain about the poor quality of the sales leads they are given and don't have the balls to do anything about it. Overall the plot and the dialog reminded me of the conduits marked GNDN in Star Trek (that is to say the plot of Glengarry Glen Ross goes nowhere and the dialog/characters do nothing except whine about how bad the sales leads are). My advice: don't waste your time with this hunk of garbage. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review few m was stressful to watch. 90 min of assholes yelling. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Luke B This movie is interesting. Tons of unintentional humor. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
