Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
If Snowden's story wasn't real, Stone would have made it up. So why does Stone's movie feel so toothless?
– Adam Graham,

rotten:
Stone is so intent on making Snowden an icon that he scrubs him of his nuances, his individuality.

rotten:
It's a fawning piece of work.

fresh:
As Snowden, Gordon-Levitt is so muted, so cloistered, that it can be easy to miss that it's a very good performance.
– Tom Shone,

rotten:
Stone's flashy filmmaking, including grand set pieces in enormous secret facilities, can't conceal his flat, thin, psychology-free depiction of a modest and self-sacrificing hero who single-handedly changed the politics of our time.
