Top Critics Reviews

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?
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

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.
– Ben Sachs,
Chicago Reader,

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.

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

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