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.

Those who prefer tidy, "Murder, She Wrote" closure are advised to shop elsewhere.

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.

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?
