Both a political document and an enduring work of art -- John le Carre A closely focused, personal story against a more expansive backdrop of politics and power games - a moving, enlightening tale of recent times Empire A suspenseful thriller with a complex and powerful moral drive -- Philip French Observer Powerful -- Roger Ebert Succeeds both as unusually convincing historical recreation and as an utterly compelling tale of individuals whose lives are shaped - tragically - by the society they live in Time Out A magnificent and unmissable tribute to the power of liberal humanism Telegraph The screenplay reopens our eyes to the cruelties that were carried out daily in the name of state socialism World Today
