Shadow Dancer Movie Review: | |
| Riseborough's ever-mobile face is a study as Collette cycles from hopelessness to panic to mama-bear rage. Dana Stevens-Slate The movie runs into the same problem all stories like this do: Generally, audiences don't like snitches. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The proceedings move so quietly and thoughtfully as to be occasionally somnolent, though they're punctuated with spasms of the violence that marked the Troubles. Sara Stewart-New York Post The character mechanics ... leave the viewer always feeling a step ahead of the story and its too-late-to-excite twists. Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times Shadow Dancer feels like a thriller, but Marsh is wisely more interested in the tension than in the release. What thrills exist here are carefully tempered by the considered pacing. Ian Buckwalter-NPR "Shadow Dancer" is ominously subdued and grimly taciturn. The dialogue is minimal. Only what has to be said is said, and the tone of most of it is one of quiet urgency. Stephen Holden-New York Times So many situations and plot points seem too sketchy here, but the two main characters manage to intrigue us, thanks to Andrea Riseborough and Clive Owen. Betty Jo Tucker-ReelTalk Movie Reviews ...a quietly disturbing look at the choices placed before someone who is caught between two worlds, neither offering harbor. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews Shadow Dancer is a quiet film that demands careful attention... Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks By keeping politics in the background and emphasizing more than a few tenuous relationships, he allows the conflict, mistrust, and dishonesty in both Collette's and Mac's camps to come through without taking sides. Joe Friedrich-TV Guide's Movie Guide Dead-serious but also rather deadly is this IRA thriller, too intent on being portentous rather than riveting. David Noh-Film Journal International The only poetry in this harsh film is in the title. Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News The movie is sure-footed in its storytelling, right up to its appropriately open-ended conclusion. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity A riveting thriller that takes the viewer into the terror of the IRA machine. Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics A gripping depiction of distrust as a vicious fire that consumes those who give in to its power. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice with characters this underdeveloped, all the explosions in the world wouldn't be enough Chris Barsanti-Film Racket While not designed to entertain on the level of style and spectacle that one expects from a Bond film, this tense period drama from the director of "Man on Wire" presents a far more credible take on the daring exploits of British agents. Eric Kohn-indieWIRE A powerful and effective film that really gets across the tense situation in Northern Ireland in a way unlike any other movie Edward Douglas-ComingSoon.net Director James Marsh, best known for his documentaries Man On Wire and Project Nim, crafts an atmosphere of tenuous dread.
