Review For The Company You Keep | |
The Company You Keep chews on issues of violence in a muffled way, but restraint is not the quality this story was calling for. Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly The disparate elements in The Company You Keep are robustly collated by the keen, well-crafted direction of a master filmmaker at the top of his form. It's only April, but this is one of the best films of 2013. Rex Reed-New York Observer [It] might have been more effective if not filtered through so much graybeard griping. David Fear-Time Out New York Given the finger-wagging suggestion of its title, it's actually no surprise to find that The Company You Keep turns out to be politically chicken-hearted ... Michael Atkinson-Village Voice As an audience, we're forced to admit that the guy we're rooting for could be a sap. This is not a recommended method. Laremy Legel-Film.com By the end, it all seems to have been a lot of noise and running for nothing except the ultimate lesson that if journalists like the people they're reporting on, they owe them the favor of not doing journalism. Ta-da! Linda Holmes-NPR The result feels like cinematic health food: vaguely good for you but less than delicious. Nathan Rabin-AV Club While The Company You Keep isn't Redford's best work, phenomenal performances heighten the somewhat lacking screenplay. Matt Donato-We Got This Covered Astutely cast and directed conspiratorial crisis-of-conscience tale about facing the consequences of one's actions. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate Well cast, beautifully acted, with a solid script. But thanks to the ages of the cast, mathematically inept. Roger Moore-Movie Nation As he skewers the tabloid mentality that has replaced actual journalism, Redford points to the lassitude of the masses (and media) that led us into an immoral war in Iraq. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine There's something wonderfully reassuring about seeing Robert Redford back, directing and starring in a political thriller about the Weather Underground. Joanna Langfield-The Movie Minute This political conspiracy thriller benefits from its strong script and cast, but an overabundance of satellite characters results in an erratic and disjointed effort. Edward Douglas-ComingSoon.net There's more substance in their sighs than in any of the dialogue Jordan Hoffman-ScreenCrush A movie in search of a story, this Robert Redford-directed flop has all the interest and suspense of a piece of burnt toast. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com A would-be thriller masquerading a long, dry monument to the reliability and comfort of community, blindly cocooned by its own nostalgic self-regard. Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine The Way We Never Were (The Weather Underground never took part in armed robberies.) Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews An old-fashioned drama about ethics, conscience, and zeal with one of the best ensemble casts ever assembled Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice Though a political thriller, there is less melodrama and more psychological tension as a man wanted for murder 30 years earlier as part of a radical organization faces prison for the rest of his life. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve ...a smart and engaging thriller geared towards adults that benefits substantially from Redford's solid work both in front of and behind the camera.
