Critic Reviews of "Shadow Dancer"
San Francisco ChronicleJuly 22, 2013The film relies on terse dialogue and boggy colors to create an atmosphere dense with anxiety -- all well handled by director James March.
Minneapolis Star TribuneJune 27, 2013A respectable political/psychological suspenser, but not a wildly entertaining or enjoyable one.
Boston GlobeJune 14, 2013A tautly minimalist, occasionally generic study of betrayal and family ties.
Philadelphia InquirerJune 13, 2013[Riseborough's] work is indrawn and riveting. It's hard to read the look in her eye, but we never stop trying.
Chicago ReaderJune 13, 2013This British thriller by James Marsh is a little too neatly scripted and tightly edited for my taste, but there are galvanizing performances from Andrea Riseborough... and Clive Owen.
Arizona RepublicJune 13, 2013These are characters for whom true belief in a cause has probably become impossible; they know how much that costs. Marsh does a compelling job of illustrating that for the rest of us.
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)December 27, 2013Plays slyly with noir; adroitly twists and turns away from easy expectations in its final minutes. This thriller's got one sharp, savage ending. Marsh takes a black-eyed stare out from the gravestone-gray, waning days of the Troubles.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDecember 16, 2013A grim but measured and intelligent art-house slow-burner.
Laramie Movie ScopeNovember 19, 2013The acting in this film is very good. The plot is lean and powerful. It is pretty depressing, but it seems true enough in its depiction of this troubled period of history.
Film Comment MagazineNovember 04, 2013By the end, the film shows not only the power of this influence but also its terrible price in an often merciless conflict.
Movie MetropolisSeptember 03, 2013Despite solid performances, a slow first half takes away from this otherwise effective drama about an IRA sympathizer whose life becomes more complicated after she's coerced into spying for MI-5.
