Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
The chattering smarty-pants who ran the U.S. government on "The West Wing" are slow talkers compared with the motormouthed and hilariously imperfect power elite in the brainy British comedy In the Loop.
91
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
In The Loop floats above its chaotic world on wave after wave of beautifully profane dialogue.
90
Variety - Dennis Harvey
Intelligent political satire this expertly acted is nothing to sneeze at.
90
Village Voice - Melissa Anderson
Not to detract from the pleasure of watching the consistently excellent actors, who enhance the dialogue's bite with their body language, but the script of In the Loop is so rich that it could work as a radio play.
90
L.A. Weekly - Unnamed
Zooming back and forth between London and D.C., In the Loop hasn't any real plot -- it plays like a rather brilliant Brit-com stretched over 100 minutes, a collection of anecdotes and incidents.
