Reviews

A hilarious knockdown of corporate culture.

Michael Sragow, New Yorker

The more you peer beneath the surface humor of Office Space the scarier and more serious its vision of contemporary existence becomes.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Not only a satire on office life, but makes comments on white guys listening to gangster rap and inherent racism in the United States. For those who can relate to dying a little every day in a cubicle this is the film for you.

Carey-Ann Pawsey, Orca Sound
