In The Loop

IN THE LOOP - UK trailer from PPC Film on Vimeo.

This review is "difficult, difficult, lemon, difficult", because In The Loop simply isn't going to please everyone, but personally, I really enjoyed it and laughed out loud for the best part of the hour and a half. If you are a fan of quick, witty British humour, then this film will not disappoint. With rave reviews in England, In The Loop is fast-paced, political comedy with an abundance of smart and cheeky dialogue which you will find yourself giggling about well after the closing credits.

The plot is about a government Minister who is a nervous public speaker. Already a terrible trait which welcomes one disastrous public event after the other. Enter the team of media monitors who are trying to save his reputation, or, at least save themselves and leave him to be eaten by the Americans. In The Loop is a political satire, poking its tongue out at British and American politicians alike.

But be warned: it is heavy with dialogue with little extravaganza. So if you prefer Hollywood blockbusters with a bit of glamour and action, then this film isn't for you. But if you're a fan of witty dialogue, clever characters and British humour, then I highly recommend In The Loop.
