"A sweaty, vital masterpiece that's always one step ahead of its audience." — The Chicago Tribune

"There is a terrific pulse of energy in this film, a voltage which drives it over two hours." — The Guardian

"Fiennes carries Le Carré's spirit with a slow-burning performance that operates on two fronts: as a powerful indictment of third-world abuses by pharmaceutical companies, and as a widower's moving investigation into his shattered relationship." — Scott Tobias, AV Club
