Reviews

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
All credit to a finely tuned Brosnan for packing so much intensity and wayward wit into his scenes with McGregor. Their verbal duels make for a dazzling game of cat-and-mouse.
83
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Satisfying, melancholy political suspense story.
83
The A.V. Club - Scott Tobias
The Ghost Writer may not go down as one of Polanski’s masterpieces, but if it does end up being his swan song, it’s the ideal denouement to a life and career of unsettling resonance.
80
Time Out - Keith Uhlich
Polanski has made a genre piece with a verve and vitality that’s in sadly short supply.
80
The New York Times - Manohla Dargis
Mr. Polanski’s work with his performers is consistently subtle even when the performances seem anything but, which is true of this very fine film from welcome start to finish.
