In the Company of Men is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The characters are sick, hateful and sadistic. Do not be surprised if the writer/director makes the same movie over and over and over again. He has nothing to say except "men are evil."

This movie hates men, a particularly strong version of self-hatred. Men are vicious, men are cruel, men are full of hatred, men are animals. Women, on the other hand, are portrayed as virginal, innocent, gentle, gullible, weak, and finally victims.

Oh poor little deaf girl! Why not make her a bunny rabbit? Oh, vicious yuppies! Why not make them wolves? Please. This fairy tale is idiotic.

The movie is more than just stupid and simplistic, however. It is degrading. You watch this movie and you want to take a shower. You wish you had amnesia. You are angry that you lost your money, your dignity, and 2 hours out of your life watching this unspeakable horror.

Do you have a soul? This movie will kill it. Do you have a brain? This movie will numb it. A movie for sadists and masochists. The Graduate is art. Red is art. La Dolce Vita is art. This is a filmmaker dropping a psychological turd on paper and charging you six dollars to see it.
