Critics consensus

“In the Loop is an uncommonly funny political satire that blends Dr. Strangelove with Spinal Tap for the Iraq war era.”

You probably wouldn't want to spend three hours listening to Alan Partridge's drive-time radio broadcast, but this idiotic DJ delivers a solid 90 minutes of cinematic entertainment.

RTThe SpectatorAug 29, 2018

The performances are outstanding, and there are many laugh-out-loud moments as confirmed by the fact that I laughed out loud.

This alleged satire, which received four-star treatment from other critics, left me with a ho-hum and sorry feeling that I had wasted an evening seeing it.

The real brilliance of the film is that its villainous conspirators have no particular motive—and really no particular rationality.
