---|---|---|---|
United States | Variety | "Compelling 24-hour odyssey into the life of a world-weary Gotham publicist, driven by a vivid performance from Al Pacino." | POS |
United States | SFGATE | "The movie is weighted down with an excess of plot points that fail to coalesce (...) Fine acting can't bring 'People I Know' to life" | NEG |
United States | New York Post | "Nasty but compulsively watchable." | POS |
United States | Vulture | "Trashy and lurid as this movie is, it’s certainly not boring" | POS |
United States | LA Weekly | "As a critique of the meshing of power politics between East and West coasts, the movie is more smart-alecky than wise." | NEG |
United Kingdom | Empire | "Considering the ignominy of its path to British cinemas, it’s hard not to approach the film with caution, but after a few minutes in the company of an unusually low-key but typically world-weary Al Pacino, it begins to win you over" | POS |
