Review For The East |
"The East" leaves questions unanswered, but at least it asks those questions. Tom Long-Detroit News
A 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. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Marling and Batmanglij bring an evenhanded perspective to their portrayals of the characters and issues involved. Soren Anderson-Seattle Times
A watchably confused eco-thriller that's never sure who its heroes are. Ty Burr-Boston Globe
It is a smart, well-acted drama, and another chance for Marling to exercise her unique talents, creating intriguing characters on the page and the screen. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
"The East" prizes an initial air of mystery over consistent drama, and as a result ends up squandering its intriguing premise. Ignatiy Vishnevetsky-Chicago Sun-Times
The political content ends up being a little simplistic, but the characters are well-drawn, and the movie has a haunting atmosphere that carries it past some rough plotting. Josh Bell-Las Vegas Weekly
Marling's subtle expression of complex characters never ceases to fascinate. Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times
Things just happen far too conveniently for a viewer not seduced by Marling to easily suspend disbelief. Matt Kelemen-AspectRatio.us
[Its] tidiness lets audiences off the hook the same way a kill-the-bad-guy B-movie would, throwing cold water on provocation... Dave White-Movies.com
Of considerable note is beautiful Brit Marley's dual role as central character Jane/Sarah and as the story's co-writer with director Zal Batmangli. As creative adults, they write taut adult fare. Jules Brenner-Cinema Signals
Another Brit hit, plus Batmanglij is beginning to show dash as director. The duo make a tight fist of hot topicality and high tension from an ideas-packed genre piece. Kevin Harley-Total Film
The setting may be current and sound edgy on paper but beneath the zeitgeist veneer, the mainstream thriller formula they employ is as familiar as your slippers. Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film
A intense, smartly cast drama about anti-corporation vigilantes and the young woman who infiltrates their inner circle. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
The film, if you can temporarily suspend disbelief, is still the kind of rock-solid intelligent entertainment that has become all too rare. Laura Kern-Film Comment Magazine
It just sits there looking sexy as it gives the viewer a crash course in civil disobedience and anti-corporate rhetoric -- as delivered by self-righteous 20-somethings. That's actually not as painful as it sounds. Katherine Monk-Canada.com
Marling and Batmanglij pull punches as things come to a close, opting for a more pacifist resolution than their fictional insurrectionist group would certainly espouse. Erick Weber-NECN
The images are sharp even when the film's ideas are not. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
It's built around an intriguing and relevant premise, one that is further buoyed by strong performances from its cast. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
The film becomes more far-fetched as it goes along, especially while addressing issues of morality and conscience, and ultimately settles for too many familiar thriller elements. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling, creators of the creepy Sound Of My Voice, once again explore underground movements, this time without the SF trappings. Norman Wilner-NOW Toronto
