Reviews


80
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
The superb English stage director David Leveaux keeps the pacing taut while creating space for his actors to work their magic.
71
Paste Magazine - Jacob Oller
The film never quite achieves the level of fevered hurry for which it aims—sometimes due to its often trite, on-the-nose dialogue and sometimes to the stilted delivery of said dialogue.
70
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
"Exception" breaks no new ground but it is a solidly done and always engrossing piece of alternate history, mixing real people and events with fictional ones.
63
Slant Magazine - Christopher Gray
David Leveaux's film cannily incorporates elements of spycraft and sheer trash into a familiar formula.

RogerEbert.com - Susan Wloszczyna
For Plummer’s plum of a performance alone, you might want to make an exception for The Exception.
