In the Loop

Dir. Armando Iannucci UK 106 min Not Rated

2009 IFC Films

English

Drawing instant comparisons to such political comedy classics as DOCTOR STRANGELOVE and WAG THE DOG, writer-director Armando Iannucci’s IN THE LOOP pokes fun at the absurdity and ineptitude of our highest leaders. With razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud dialogue, the hilarious ensemble cast of characters bumbles its way through Machiavellian political dealings, across continents, and toward comic resolutions that are unforeseeable.

“The language is brilliant, and the laugh lines come so quickly that you’d probably have to watch the movie twice to get them all.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

“Not to detract from the pleasure of watching the consistently excellent actors… but the script of IN THE LOOP is so rich that it could work as a radio play.” (Village Voice)

“A sharply written, fast-talking, almost dementedly articulate satire on modern statecraft.” (New York Times)
