Reviews
|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
The superb English stage director David Leveaux keeps the pacing taut while creating space for his actors to work their magic.
|
|
Paste Magazine -
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.

|
Los Angeles Times -
"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.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
David Leveaux's film cannily incorporates elements of spycraft and sheer trash into a familiar formula.

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