The Gist:
In the Loop is like a British Robert Altman film with political commentary. Honestly, I could probably leave my summation at that sentence alone, it so succinctly covers it. The characters talk constantly, the writing is very clever in that delightfully dry British way, and the plots collide with each other haphazardly. My only issue is that so few of the characters are actually redeemable, but that fits the general mood of the piece (ie that politics are filled with self-serving, vapid personalities). I will say that I loved James Gandolfini's character, he was the only one I had any true empathy for.
