People I Know Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The story collapses like a bad tip to Liz Smith.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
An ambitious, high-minded flop that wants to do good in the world, a failure with a pedigree, if you will.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Sometimes incisive but finally overbaked drama.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Almost as much fun as reading Page Six.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The movie's stock 60's nostalgia is annoyingly facile. In glibly evoking heroes like Kennedy and King, the movie succumbs to the same mindless name-dropping it purports to decry.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
It was filmed in and around the World Trade Center, and the subsequent cuts, reshoots and sleights of hand designed to obscure that fact prove devastating.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Al Pacino gives a career-crowning performance under Dan Algrant's perceptive direction.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
The movie is weighted down with an excess of plot points that fail to coalesce.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
Smushes together The Bonfire of the Vanities (the novel, that is), True Believer, and Eyes Wide Shut, only it does so without being nearly as good as any of the aforementioned.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
At one point, a character kids Eli about being 'moth-eaten,' but the term would be better applied to the film's crippling third act.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
Trashy and lurid as this movie is, it's certainly not boring, and it keeps its star in hog heaven throughout.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
The picture has a lax, sleepy vibe: There's never anything taut or electric about it.
Variety
David Rooney
The screenplay is taut and intelligent, sizzling with enough sharp dialogue and dark humor to coast over its flaws.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Awkwardly derivative.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
An expired shelf life is integral to the movie's downbeat charm.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Ranks with Sweet Smell of Success in its ruthless portrayal of the publicity business.
FilmStew.com
Todd Gilchrist
People I Know rests not at the bottom of that pile, not at the top, but just out of range of significance, to be forgotten the minute the audience's back is turned.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
[O]ne of the most scathing looks at the PR business since Sweet Smell of Success.
Long Island Press
Prairie Miller
Eli is a modern-day version of a tainted weakling who has sold his soul to the devil, but would like to rent it back from time to time.
Filmcritic.com
Jules Brenner
Not much to admire.
