Justin Chang The New Yorker Saleh and Fares shrewdly exploit the material’s comic possibilities as well as its dramatic ones. They’ve wrought an entertaining portrait of a celebrity whose vices and vanities persist even under life-threatening circumstances. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety Eagles of the Republic loses the thread of its story, but even more disappointingly it leaves those stakes hanging. May 21, 2025 Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out A satire with a dissident energy and a dark denouement, it’s an Armando Iannucci-esque send-up of something deadly serious. Rated: 4/5 May 21, 2025 Full Review Brandon Lewis AwardsWatch Eagles of the Republic aims to convey the suffocating power of authoritarian regimes, illustrating that no opposing forces, not even movie stardom, can overpower it. It says and shows all the right things, but Tarik Saleh imbues them with little energy. Rated: C- Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Awards Buzz Fares is a true talent who’s especially well-suited for this role, extremely comfortable in George’s skin and most impressive when it’s clear that he understands the gravity of what he’s done. Rated: 7/10 Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About The plot twists pile up so thick and fast they almost cancel each other out. But at its core Eagles of the Republic understands the importance of movies and why governments want to control them. Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
