Reviews
|
Entertainment Weekly -
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.
|
|
Film Threat -
The film is able to be a thriller, a political statement and a haunting romance all at once.
|
|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
Ralph Fiennes gives one of the year's subtlest, yet most exciting, screen performances.
|
|
Rolling Stone -
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.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
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.
