mark g The best way to describe this film is pretentious. It is loaded with star power and has a plot dealing with the biggest crisis America was dealing with. Yet it comes off like a story penned by a first time screenwriter, who is not a very good screenwriter. The actors want to dig in, but they know the terrain is void of an ounce of depth. It wanted so badly to be deep and thought-provoking, but it was a montage of nonsense. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Joe J People don't like this movie because it does not end with a feeling of completion. It's not a nice package with a pretty bow. But the performances and the issues that it asks us to think about are worth the watch. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review joe d Only just seen this movie on Amazon thought it was pretty good... until I saw critics reviews......Lol. I found it interesting, engaging and performances by Andrew Garfield, Robert Redford and Meryl Streep were excellent. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Cameron N I liked it, but I like almost everything. I thought this movie had a really thought provoking message, several of them. Good performances from the core cast. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/25 Full Review Johannes S The senator preaching to the newswoman was interesting, the military scenes were very predictable, and the professor and student talk was douchy and unreal. Top cast, subpar plot. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Marina P I was drawn in by the characters and the actors' portrayals. Each character/actor cared about what they were tasked with; not just cared but fully engaged in it with an intelligence that was gentle, subtle, and emotional. I didn't feel lectured. I felt for what was going on. If critics felt lectured, they weren't engaged with the people, the characters. Why that was they'd have to answer for themselves. I found them relatable and easily got involved with each one. They were each vulnerable so they kept my interest. Each scene flowed into the next, and it was apparent from the start that they were related. Maybe I didn't know how at first, but somehow it didn't feel disjointed. Well done. A story well worth telling and exactly in the way it was told. Avoid the synopsis. Let the film unfold. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
