United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"You can see the joy with which these actors get their teeth into these great lines, after living through movies in which flat dialogue serves only to advance the story (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Variety	"The best American play ever written about merciless men and their predatory business practices"	POS
United States	Desson Howe The Washington Post	"Despite the colorful and witty utterances of its characters, 'Glengarry' feels artificial and rarefied."	NEU
United Kingdom	Barry McIlheney Empire	"A searing indictment of all sorts of American dreams (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"['Glengarry'] gets dedicated playing from a splendid cast, but gains nothing by the transfer from stage to screen"	NEU
