Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Its own terms and for much of the way, this is a superior thriller.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Ken Loach's Hidden Agenda must be the most buttoned-down movie about a conspiracy theory ever made.
– Hal Hinson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
This quietly explosive film comes to resonate more loudly than melodrama.
– Caryn James,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
There's plenty of evidence of Loach's undiminished power as a film-maker, and equally ample evidence that something is very rotten in the state of Northern Ireland.
– Stephen Garrett,
Time Out,

rotten:
Though it attempts to make an acceptable theatrical entertainment out of a complex political saga, Hidden Agenda lacks bigscreen impact.
