Critic Reviews of "The East (2013)"
Time OutJune 25, 2013Its morally ambiguous investigation of extreme left-wing politics is ... light years away from usual multiplex concerns.
Miami HeraldJune 20, 2013The latest collaboration between director Zal Batmanglij and screenwriter Brit Marling suffers from the same problem as their previous picture, Sound of My Voice: It's taut, compelling, unpredictable and completely wipes out in the final few minutes.
Detroit NewsJune 14, 2013"The East" leaves questions unanswered, but at least it asks those questions.
Minneapolis Star TribuneJune 13, 2013A fast-rising newcomer to film, the willowy Marling is maturing fast, and encouragingly unwilling to dumb herself down for stock girlfriend roles. This is her strongest work yet and I hope a harbinger of much more to come.
Seattle TimesJune 13, 2013Marling and Batmanglij bring an evenhanded perspective to their portrayals of the characters and issues involved.
Arkansas Democrat-GazetteJanuary 01, 2014The whole thing feels strident and naive, a well-meaning drama composed by a couple of college kids for their Environmental Science final.
Sacramento News & ReviewJanuary 01, 2014The total effect is affected, annoying and off-putting.
Examiner.comOctober 05, 2013Provocative and exciting, with bigger set pieces and a fierce devotion to character development, this is the sort of smart genre thriller that Hollywood needs more of.
Rip It UpSeptember 29, 2013Marling's committed performance is offset slightly by Skarsgård's glumness and the 'surprise' casting of Page, who plays the part like Juno grown up (sort of) and turned vengeful communist psychopath.
The Popcorn JunkieSeptember 26, 2013Immaculately made with a thought-provoking emphasis on corporate espionage, it's just missing intensity and grit
Movie TalkAugust 05, 2013If you start off seeing the film's moral world in simple black and white terms - greedy one percent on one side; righteous activists on the other - you'll be left uneasy... but Marling and Batmanglij deliver gripping suspense and challenging ideas.
