Critics' reviews

• "Hilarious sweet and sour David Mamet comedy."
• "I laughed a lot at the anti-Hollywood humor and generally had a fine time, in spite of the holier-than-thou hypocrisy that makes this movie easily and even intentionally Mamet's most Hollywoodish picture to date."
• "State and Main might be the perfect David Mamet movie for people who don't like David Mamet movies."
• "A Hollywood satire as cynical and thickheaded as its supposed targets."
• "Lays to rest any doubt about whether Mamet can write funny. He can."
