Spinal Tap meets Strangelove. A satirical demolition of Whitehall and Washington: politically astute, hilarious and terrifyingly real.

...en av årets roligaste filmer, en blandning av Wag the Dog och The Office, som trots att den inte är speciellt originell ger nytt liv åt den underskattade genre som är politisk satir.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is In the Loop about? Toggle content

In the Loop is a political comedy film that follows the story of Simon Foster, a low-level British minister who unintentionally sparks a media frenzy and international diplomatic crisis when he expresses his doubts about the possibility of war in the Middle East during a radio interview. As tensions rise and military intervention becomes increasingly likely, Simon is sent to Washington D.C. to gather information and support for the UK's position on the conflict. Along the way, he becomes embroiled in a series of misadventures and political power struggles, all while trying to navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries between different government officials and advisors. With its quick-witted dialogue and clever satire of political machinations, In the Loop offers a humorous yet biting critique of the inner workings of government decision-making processes.
