Mamet’s ‘Bitter Wheat’ is the embodiment of purely awkward evil. It would be one thing if Malkovich’s Harvey Weinstein of a character possessed anything redeemable about him that the audience could latch onto but he doesn’t. The whole first act is about seducing an actress into giving a ****... it’s as tedious as it sounds, if not worse.Read more →

Great performance by John Malkovich. Witty dialogue but kind of a basic story and plot. Enjoyable but nothing more than that.Read more →

Surprisingly good judging by the amount of negative reviews it got! John Malkovic was amazingRead more →

The only reason for seeing this play is for Malkovich, who is always charismatic. As for the rest, it is uneven, trivial, at times embarrassing, always superficial. It ends without fanfare in mid-sentence after a mercifully short second half.Read more →

John Malkovich perfect in this role and the supporting cast were also strong. We did find it funny too although the subject will not be to everyone’s liking.Read more →

The comic pace picks up after two chances of scene, with viewers increasingly invited to laugh at the unrepentant protagonist, rather than at his jokes. Some great lines about rehabilitation and weight loss. Elegant set design.Read more →

Pure evil. Pure fun. Don't look much beyond having a really fun night and you won't be disappointed. Barney is evil, racist, sexist and completely unapologetic. John Malkovich is hilarious. I can only suppose that all the 1 and 2 stars from the critics came as they were expecting some reflections on society that are absolutely absent.Read more →

Seeing all these bad reviews I almost gave up my super expensive pre-booked tickets, so I had zero expectation.. decent acting, sometimes the pacing feels not right. It’s a no depth comedy with some bits I really disapprove but! I think the 3rd scene from the 1st act is very worth watching.Read more →
