Official Secrets has a familiar structure and an obvious if worthy message, but rises on the strength of Keira Knightley's powerful performance.
The movie doesn't seem to be playing near you.

It's difficult to become immersed in a film in which far too many characters sound like they're reciting talking points and not delivering authentic dialogue. Sep 6, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

"Official Secrets" scratches the surface of a deep and dark universe of things we're not supposed to know but should. Sep 4, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Although Knightley's Gun often seems to be a passive figure, buffeted by the machinations of those around her, the film's honesty about the enormous personal costs of whistleblowing is a welcome relief from more romanticized heroics. Sep 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Righteous treatment to a worthy story and builds a stoic thriller by layering its merits with an eye for accuracy. Sep 6, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Although the production of this film is fairly clinical and understated, it's a story that is so relevant. The performances are somewhat bland. But there is no question that this is a well-earned tribute to a woman brave enough to be a whistleblower. Sep 6, 2019 | Full Review…

Official Secrets is an effective entry in a genre that has outlived its usefulness...the film falters when it depends on character rather than procedure. Sep 6, 2019 | Full Review…

Official Secrets is a personal examination of heroism that shows how one person's decision can be a powerful and life-changing act where the obligation to not be silenced outweighs all potential negative consequences. Sep 6, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Knightley's magnetism nearly redeems her underwritten character, and Ralph Fiennes is good as her crusading attorney. Sep 6, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
