Philip French Guardian It is a richly intriguing tale about high intrigue, though at times a trifle uncertain... May 1, 2011 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian This is a satisfyingly sober thriller, almost melancholy in tone - and as morally complex as a John Le Carr novel. Rated: 3/5 Apr 28, 2011 Full Review Alice Levick Little White Lies The tale of a truly fascinating but little-known espionage operation is told with panache and a dynamic central pairing. Rated: 4/5 Apr 28, 2011 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Aside from so many problems, what remains of Farewell is interesting. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 10, 2022 Full Review Laura Hiros Rincón de cine ... like the good action and suspense films from the 70s. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Anne Billson The Arts Desk Carion's film covers an astonishing amount of geographical and narrative ground and juggles three languages -- Russian, French and English -- but never loses its way.

Liam D An highly engaging and suspenseful thriller with a great script, fantastic acting and solid direction Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Espionage in the USSR. Based on a true story, none the less interesting. Why oh why were they being so careless and obviously suspicious? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The performances are really good and the staging is quite believable and impressive. The plot is really well done ... the only problem is that it is really far from the actual facts. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Taut and well made spy period thriller; a mood piece negotiating a large web of complications in an astute fashion--A Mind-Boggling True Story!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating largely-real-life episode, and a very well made film around it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Great spy thriller if you don't Mind reading subtitles. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
