"THE COMPANY takes on its big subject forthrightly...it celebrates the virtue of making useful things."
Wall Street Journal "The movie powerfully revisits a theme touched on last year in the bitter comic drama UP IN THE AIR....Mr. Cooper gives a great, tragic performance..."
New York Times "[The] actors -- and some wonderfully moody Roger Deakins cinematography -- help sell a Wells script..." -- Grade: B
A.V. Club 3 stars out of 4 -- "A small movie, yes, but one with a large, achingly humane theme: the effect of corporate downsizing on the soul as well as the wallet."
Rolling Stone 3 stars out of 4 -- "[T]he actors are convincing and film well-crafted..."
Chicago Sun-Times 3 stars out of 4 -- "Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper and Tommy Lee Jones turn in sterling performances....The movie's heart is in the right place."
USA Today 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] thoughtful, timely and intelligent take on the human cost of the world's economic woes..."
Total Film "The dialogue pings, and often stings. Yet THE COMPANY MEN invites our compassion toward the men who glided along on a house-of-cards economy until it fell on them, too." -- Grade: A
