The Report | Ratings & Reviews

"The Report is an indignant retelling of how Jones (Adam Driver) came to write his 6700-page history of the agency’s ghoulishly named “enhanced interrogation” programme. And although it may feel uncomfortable to be entertained by such a serious and important story, the film is undoubtedly exciting."

New Zealand ListenerNew Zealand Listener

"Ultimately, the film is a character study as much as anything else – focused, obviously, on Americans, not on the actual victims of torture. Burns has been lucky in his actors, starting with Driver, whose performance is one long slow burn."

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"…a gripping, intelligently written and deftly constructed thriller, and of course all the more compelling because it’s true."

"I left its... premiere on an adrenaline high as if I'd just seen the latest Mission: Impossible movie, giddy from the ride I'd just taken."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"[A] bracingly dry, talky but ultimately fascinating work..."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"A large-scale saga of corruption, justice, and overwhelming relevance that's at once gripping and eye-opening, even if you're the sort of news junkie who thinks they already know the story."

VarietyVariety

"A sturdy testament to getting your story straight before adding embellishments."

Vanity FairVanity Fair

"A sober, and sobering account of the Senate's investigation into the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques..."

VultureVulture

"Parcels out its intel efficiently enough, though it creaks a bit more than it crackles."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"You can agree with its thrust while still feeling something majorly irresponsible has happened with Scott Z. Burns's tunnel-visiony direction and hectoring script; he makes Aaron Sorkin seem restrained."
