The Profile

American film and television director, producer and writer; known for television work including E.R. and The West Wing, and the feature film The Company Men.

Directed The Company Men (released January 2011). Long experience in television including work on E.R. and The West Wing.

Hellring's review frames The Company Men as a well-shot, TV-inflected drama about job loss and shame during the post-2008 crisis. The film's TV-style structure and some superficial scenes limit its depth, but an underlying pessimism and strong performances give it weight. Overall the reviewer awards it a middling score and expresses cautious optimism for Wells's future as a director.
