Each member of the ensemble offers a vividly detailed performance resounding with emotional truth, delivering lengthy swaths of LaBute’s sometimes savagely furious, sometimes shocking funny dialogue with pitch-perfect degrees of intensity. Read full review

It’s minor LaBute, but nonetheless short and bittersweet. Read full review

The title’s parenthetical plural sums up the problem with Some Girl(s): Five slow-cook dialogues that reveal the nice-guy protagonist as a super-tool is four too many. Read full review

Director Daisy von Scherler Mayer and a strong cast do right by Neil LaBute's script (based on his play), but the soullessness of the story is a turnoff overpowering the intriguing moments scattered within these one-on-one encounters. Read full review

Are Some Girl(s) like this? Yes. But I left this movie with no additional insight on why. Read full review

The things that once made Neil LaBute's movies seem like tossed grenades — the loutish protagonists, the sadism toward women — now come off as more dated than scandalous. Read full review

Like most of Neil LaBute's work in the field of "emotional terrorism," the film protests that bad behavior isn't only good, but also essential to art. Read full review

I personally thought the play wasnt all that great to begin with, yet the core idea and the relationship dynamics had been intriguing, the movie does best to explore those with a few yet major tweaks.
Lead character's almost complete apathy is (discerning yet) fun to watch and Adam Brody does a fine job yet I am not sure this role is the vehicle he is looking for to get out of his stereotype. It still feels as if he just rolled out of his bed in the OC. Emily Watson truly stands out, even though the latter's story line is rather ridiculous. Zoe Kazan is the true star of the movie, does a great job portraying a broken character, brings out the best in Adam as well.… Expand
