Christian Science Monitor - Peter Rainer

Stunning. Read full review

USA Today - Claudia Puig

Emotionally and viscerally compelling and retains a suspenseful, edge-of-the-seat quality. Read full review

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold

Visceral, alive and very scary. Read full review

New York Daily News - Jack Mathews

The story feels as urgent as the latest bad news out of the Middle East. Read full review

The New Yorker - Anthony Lane

The result, like many of Winterbottom's films, lies an inch short of disarray; we CAN keep pace with the investigation, but only just, and that sense of splintering honors the unpredictability of the setting. Read full review

Slate - Dana Stevens

This is one of those roles where casting can't help but trump acting. Like Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra, Angelina Jolie IS Mariane Pearl--and that marquee-size "is" gets in the way, not of her performance, but of our ability to suspend disbelief and watch it. Read full review

Austin Chronicle - Marrit Ingman

The elliptical narrative also recalls Fernando Meirelles' somewhat similarly themed "The Constant Gardener," a film ultimately more heartfelt and accessible to mainstream audiences because its maker is unafraid of grief and explores it more deeply. Read full review

One of a kind. One of the most important films this year and every American should see it. Jolie at her very best. Give her the Oscar now.
