Critics' reviews

"An intelligent, modern screwball comedy (...) This film has the kind of swift, smart farcical writing that has actually found a snugger nest in television series comedy than in theaters."

Elvis Mitchell: The New York Times
"So clever, so funny, so suavely entertaining that it comes as a shock to realize that it's not nearly as satisfying as all those qualities would lead you to believe"

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"Here's an anomaly: a comedy about smart people."

Richard Corliss: Time
Proving he's the closest thing to Cary Grant in contempo cinema, George Clooney effortlessly radiates mischievous charm in "Intolerable Cruelty," a thoroughly entertaining comedy"

David Rooney: Variety
"'Intolerable Cruelty' is a rarity among contemporary Hollywood comedies in that it actually has gags (...) Considering the usual deluge of romcom infantilism, this is a treat.(...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"The Coens' first mainstream romantic comedy is a superb hijacking of an ailing art form - short, sharp and frequently laugh-out-loud hilarious."

Damon Wise: Empire
