\u201cA consummate drawing-room divertissement played with relish by a dream ensemble\u201d. Variety<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Janet (Kristen Scott Thomas) is celebrating with an intimate dinner party while her husband Bill (Timothy Spall) is in a more sombre mood. The Party<\/i> has wonderful pithy dialogue throughout, and some great comic moments as a series of revelations unfold.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cPatricia Clarkson steals the show, but everyone in Potter\u2019s gifted cast gets their moment to shine in a sharp-edged, claustrophobic parlour piece that puts the boot into middle-class mores\u201d. Empire<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
