Matt Crenson Associated Press 06/12/2018
"The House of Yes'' is a comedy. And a pretty funny one, too. Go to Full Review
Mike Clark USA Today 01/10/2018
1.5/4
Unless you think drawing-room re-enactments of JFK's assassination beat Pictionary as a party game, it's best to say no to the achingly arch comic satire The House of Yes. Go to Full Review
Richard Corliss TIME Magazine 11/21/2008
Bujold has the frazzled hauteur of an aging, neglected star, and Spelling is nicely glazed, studiously artless. But the film is keyed to Posey's performance: perfectly brittle, faultlessly false. Go to Full Review
Andrea Beach Common Sense Media 02/11/2015
2/5
Incest is the core of dysfunctional family dramedy. Go to Full Review
Ken Fox TV Guide 11/21/2008
3/4
Bujold is as good as ever, but the real surprise here is Spelling: Slack-jawed and dewy-eyed, lids forever at half-mast, she's perfectly cast as a lamb among wolves, and her naivete is strangely affecting. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 23 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Jim H Jun 12 Posey's comedic timing and delivery are impeccable. See more Vik D Mar 11 So much fun in this film See more Geke g 08/05/2024 Parker posey is so brilliant in it See more helder f 12/25/2023 I am not a big fan of Posey and her early movies, she always seem to play these annoying brats who are clueless as to how obnoxious they are. But she's perfect for this role. This is not an ordinary brat, this an entire family in which each own is looking out for themselves; the family and their house is sort of their ever lasting playground, where few impulses are repressed. Until one of the brothers decides to bring his girlfriend home for thanksgiving… See more 10/11/2023 Parker's performance is so nuanced it's strangely hard to ignore You don't know how far someone like this will go to keep a fixed routine state of mind This is super short but all the players involved are completely in tune and that's some effort there See more Read all reviews
