State and Main

Terrifically funny and smart, with the entire ensemble firing on all thrusters.

This is a playful movie about a film company that arrives in Waterford, Vt.

There's some fine comic playing from the likes of William H Macy, Sarah Jessica Parker and Alec Baldwin, while Hoffman invests his romantic leading role with a touching dignity...

It's highly watchable, and, at times, humorously compelling.

...the ensemble cast — even the brittle and sometimes annoying Pidgeon (Mamet's wife) — is brilliant.
