Product Description

Your Friends & Neighbors is a searing display of the war between the sexes, delivered with the kind of wit used by the great Restoration playwrights to expose the hypocrisies in male/female relationships.

Neil Labute's debut feature, in the company of men, was described by Variety as "a dark, probing, truly disturbing exploration of yuppie angst and male anxieties". In Your Friends & Neighbors, male anxiety is again on show, but in a much wider context, revealing the rabid desire of people-regardless of sex- to serve their own interests at any cost.

Customer Reviews

A funny, distubing look at relationships in the '90's.
Neil Labute, writer and director of last years In The Company of Men, succeeds again in capturing the sad and darkly funny depths of mental anguish and abuse of love and sex in the '90's. Here he brings us a tale of unhappy suburban couples searching in vein for satisfaction and destroying each other in the process. Labute crafts an air of dialog that makes you laugh and look on in disgust all at once-the equivilance of a literary car crash, so horrifying yet you slow down to watch anyway.
