Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
"The Woman in the Fifth" leaves so many holes unfilled that instead of ending up intriguing, it's just plain frustrating.
– Tom Long,

fresh:
Those who prefer tidy, "Murder, She Wrote" closure are advised to shop elsewhere.
– Colin Covert,

rotten:
A thankless lead vehicle for Ethan Hawke who's left largely stranded by writer-director Pawel Pawlikowski's opaque adaptation of Douglas Kennedy's novel.
– Gary Goldstein,

fresh:
The movie casts such a seductive air of mystery that the resolution feels anticlimactic, yet there's plenty to enjoy along the way, particularly Hawke's nuanced lead performance as a quiet man with secrets of his own.

fresh:
When do we first sense reality slip away? Do we? Can the film be accepted on its own terms? Can the point of view be trusted?
