8/10
""Edmond" is beyond black comedy, it's a comedy in almost total stygian darkness. A comedy where the laughs make you cough up razor blades."
PopMatters
Brian Holcomb
2/5
"a fussy little movie that wants to be much more controversial and important than it is."

Chris Cabin
3/5
"
Edmond
is a failure as a story, but it's such a provocative and involving failure that it's worth a peek or two."

"None of it rings true for even a NYC second."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
"A compact one act play ill translates into a hurried almost thirty-location shoot, a logistically plagued one at that. "

3/5
"Hoy d%uFFFDa, (...) una pieza como Edmond no resulta todo lo inquietante que deber%uFFFDa. Eso quiz%uFFFDs sea lo verdaderamente llamativo."
Uruguay Total

3/4
"Edmond plays like Eyes Wide Shut meets Falling Down with a dash of Fight Club, although Mamet's original play debuted way back in 1982 before any of those films existed"

Erik Childress
"David Mamet's genius as a weaver of words and observer of human interaction is put on full display here ...."
DVD Review
Felix Gonzalez Jr.
3.5/5
"Mamet's script may not be entirely convincing as either satire or social commentary, but in Macy's hands, poor, pathetic Edmond's story finds its shocking, darkly funny resonance."
Los Angeles Alternative
Jay Antani
2/4
"Like Paul Haggis's
Crash
, the characters speak their minds so fully (or lie about their feelings so transparently) that the stuff which should be bubbling under the surface is constantly rising in fiery tirades."
Slant Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
3.5/4
"A consistently stimulating viewing experience."

"...Gordon brings this hellish and funny look at one man's freefall into his basest instincts just the right touch of reality viewed through fun house mirrors."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2.5/4
"Mamet's paranoid rant...is as bilious as ever, but time has overtaken and defanged it."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
4/5
"Under Gordon’s eye, Macy draws pity for a character who feels nothing beyond his own suffering."
Film Threat
Matthew Sorrento
C+
"Fails to offer any insight into its main character's motivations."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
3/5
"
Edmond
is presented as the cold truth, but it's really just the truth of how the masculinist Mamet feels."

Rob Gonsalves
4/5
"It's not exactly a "happy" movie, but it sure is a fascinating one."
