De kracht van Official Secrets ligt niet zo zeer bij de cast, het is eerder een schoolvoorbeeld van hoe je een film perfect moet opbouwen als regisseur. Lees meer

Official Secrets weet hier een zeer onderhoudende David-tegen-Goliathvertelling van te maken, die mooi laat zien dat Goliath zich in de vorm van de Britse overheid opvallend vaak bedient van pure blufpoker. Lees meer

Katherine is zeer goed neergezet door Keira Knightley, die overigens in de verste verte niet lijkt op Katherine. Dat maakt in dit geval niet uit, want het verhaal is goed opgebouwd en nog spannend ook. Lees meer

Official Secrets is a very important political thriller that goes deep into Katharine’s choices. Screenplay written by Gregory and Sara Bernstein allows Keira Knightley to deliver an enjoyable performance that will carry you smoothly throughout the film. Lees meer

In an era of populist floppy-haired demagogues railing against Fake News, Official Secrets does remind us of the potential power of whistleblowers and the press to counteract government excess. Sadly, much like the illegal memo, the movie is paper-thin. Lees meer

Official Secrets is at its best when it accepts that its covering storytelling ground that's far from fresh. The strongest scenes are those that explore the journalistic side of the story, with foul-mouthed journalists and editors bickering in their offices like the embittered real estate agents of Glengarry Glen Ross.

The film is praiseworthy in the way it covers a civilian taking a moral stand against a corrupt state. Lees meer

Knightley’s work makes Official Secrets and its restrained tightness a measure of hero respect not blatant hero worship. Straightforward was exactly the necessary bearing. Lees meer
