Il Posto Ratings & Reviews
Esquire Magazine
Dwight MacDonald
It sounds dreary, but it isn't because Olmi shows us his clerks and his doorkeepers and executives as individuals and because he has a sense of style, every detail fitting harmoniously into the overall purpose.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Olmi's intimate camerawork captures his amateur performers' delicate range of inflections, hesitations, and glimmers of feeling as their inhibitions and embarrassments begin to curdle into weary bitterness.
Turner Classic Movies Online
Sean Axmaker
... Olmi paints the anxiety and disappointments, as well as the brief moments of intimacy and communal joy, with a compassion for the people locked into these lives.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Andrew Wright
a [neo-realism] classic that, thanks to a steadily mounting undercurrent of Kafka absurdism, is as easy to actually enjoy as well as admire.

Keith Uhlich
Neorealism bumps heads with surrealism and class critique ...
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Matt Bailey
Il Posto is a finely crafted, unassuming, gentle film, but it has the honesty, integrity, and emotional strength to stand with the giants of its era.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
a commentary on the workplace as damning as Brazil but one writ small and humbly
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
Majestic predecessor of modern-day drone dramas like Office Space and this year's chilling Time Out.
