Release: A Reputation

A Reputation
Genre: Drama
Director: Noah Baumbach
Writer: Mo Buck
Cast: Brie Larson, Dustin Hoffman, Brendan Fraser, Ben Stiller, Winona Ryder, Gary Sinise, Pierce Brosnan, Michelle Pfeiffer, Adam Sandler

Domestic Box Office: $73,897,112
Foreign Box Office: $15,579,540

Reaction: The poor box office numbers in foreign territories definitely hurt this film's box office chances despite the strong domestic numbers - especially for a drama film.




"This drama may not age well, but in the here and now it comes across as a timely showbiz film with a big name cast and a director at the height of his craft. Brie Larson gives another strong star performance." - Leslie Vandergort, Minneapolis Star Tribune



"A Reputation is full of big name actors, but most of them are not given enough to do to allow the characters to break free of the actor's public persona - which hurts some of the characters as they are meant to be more likable than they come across at the end of the day." - James Tubbs Jr., Vice Magazine

"Mo Buck and Noah Baumbach have crafted a film that takes a look at the issue of those abusing their power in Hollywood. The film could have come off as preachy, but the film successfully manages the balancing act of shining a light on the topic, but still focuses first and foremost on the characters and their personal dilemmas." - Chris Mears, Slashfilm






Rated R for some sexuality, language and thematic elements
