Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes

  • As nervy and as excitable as the trade that it depicts.

    Anthony Lane, New Yorker, 10.21.2013

  • The movie can't quite decide what it thinks of [Assange] - or even if it should decide at all.

    Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle, 10.17.2013

  • "The Fifth Estate" tries to be a cross between "The Social Network" and "Zero Dark Thirty." Only it's more like "The Sociopath Network" meets "Zero Dumb Thirty."

    Kyle Smith, New York Post, 10.18.2013

  • The material covered in the production's 128 minutes is not only inherently non-cinematic but not remotely "thrilling," at least in the conventional sense.

    James Berardinelli, ReelViews, 10.21.2013
