Reviews


91
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
The movie is smart, serious, and adult about something that matters, but not at the expense of a kind of awful, sensual revelry as le Carré's capacious plot hurtles to its big finish.
90
Film Threat - Unnamed
The film is able to be a thriller, a political statement and a haunting romance all at once.
90
New York Magazine (Vulture) - Ken Tucker
Ralph Fiennes gives one of the year's subtlest, yet most exciting, screen performances.
88
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Director Fernando Meirelles and screenwriter Jeffrey Caine put a human face on John le Carre's novel of sex, lies and dirty politics in modern Africa. Prepare for a thrilling ride.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
His (Fernando Meirelles) impressionistic, guerilla style of filmmaking works surprisingly well in capturing the hypnotic urgency of le Carre's fiction. And his viewpoint is less British and more Third World.
