Our Kind of Traitor's reviews
Media reviews
Entertainment Weekly
"The film, while gorgeously shot, is schematic and wholly implausible. But Skarsgård saves it; wild and funny and ferociously alive, he's a crucial bolt of color in all that tasteful gray".
The Hollywood Reporter
White does make some interesting choices (...) That's best about the film is the way it evokes the sense of momentous power struggles, political shifts and tragic events.
Empire
"A lesser entry in the LeCarré Cinematic Universe, though Damian Lewis and Stellan Skarsgård rescue it from complete blandness".
Variety
The shattering of one's noble ideals is a delicate thing to capture on film, and White plays the moment of rupture with a banality that threatens to undermine our faith in her as storyteller more than in the system itself.
Screen Daily
'Our Kind Of Traitor' may not reinvent the Le Carré lexicon, but will slide in very nicely with 'A Most Wanted Man' and 'The Constant Gardener'.
Los Angeles Times
"It?s competently made, well-acted and largely intelligent, so why isn?t the spy thriller Our Kind of Traitor more rewarding?"
The Telegraph
"It's a film whose final shape feels dwindled by compromise - not unappealing, but stymied, like a luxury jet which spends two hours taxiing on the runway".
