Austin Chronicle -
Angela Lansbury's frighteningly in-check performance is alone worth the trip.

Chicago Reader -
A veritable salad of mixed genres and emotional textures, this exciting black-and-white cold war thriller runs more than two hours and never flags for an instant...A powerful experience, alternately corrosive with dark parodic humor, suspenseful, moving, and terrifying.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Here is a movie that was made more than 25 years ago, and it feels as if it were made yesterday. Not a moment of The Manchurian Candidate lacks edge and tension and a cynical spin. [Re-release]

A dazzling spy thriller that’s still amazing.
