Argo Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Affleck continues to impress audiences with his keen eye for direction, knowing just when to fall back and allow this top-notch cast the freedom to interpret the events in a way that will most compel viewers.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Robbins
Affleck is still building up his chops as a director, but the intelligence and ambition he brings to filmmaking are particularly apparent in Argo.
CinemaBlend
Katey Rich
The emotional catharsis of Argo isn't what happens onscreen, but the sheer knowledge that the creaky old moviemaking system has put together something this crowd-pleasing and great.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
The cast helps to keep things moving -- particularly the hilarious interplay between Arkin and Goodman. And is it me, or should Bryan Cranston be in every film released?
TheWrap
Leah Rozen
Let's just say that the movie's final section is so nail-bitingly tense, thanks to a skillful combination of acting, writing and crosscutting, that it puts Affleck in the big leagues as a director.
The New Republic
David Thomson
Entertaining and suspenseful in old-fashioned ways.
CNN.com
Tom Charity
Affleck himself turns in a quietly impressive movie star performance. Tony Mendez is a kind of anti-Bourne, comfortable with his anonymity, living off his wits, not his fists.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Robert Philpot
With Affleck's continued growth as a director, it makes you want to see what he will deliver next.
What the Flick?!
Alonso Duralde
As a director, Ben Affleck is getting into Alan Pakula territory.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
Trusts the audience with a significant amount of detail and develops suspense on a more cerebral level, leaving you with a deeper respect and understanding of the situation.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
Divorce it from awards-season hype, and Argo holds up fine: There's no need to pretend it's something it's not, when what it is works just fine.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Argo has that solid, kick-the-tires feel of those studio films from the 70s that were about something but also entertained. Only it's as laugh outright amusing as it is sobering.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Affleck has made a film that features multiple locations, dozens of speaking roles, and the kind of tonal shifting that veterans routinely screw up and he's not only dodged the many potential pitfalls but made a modern classic by doing so.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The movieland satire is laid on thick, but it's also deadly accurate. Schlock has never seemed so patriotic, and Arkin and Goodman have rarely been so good.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
It is startling how recent events have lent Argo an almost uncanny currency-in the process highlighting sobering current realities downplayed by the media.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Argo is a rollicking yarn, easily the most cohesive and technically accomplished of Affleck's three films so far, but a part of me wishes the director hadn't cast himself in the lead role.
AskMen.com
Radheyan Simonpillai
Politically relevant but free of the usual cynicism and controversy that typically makes such movies a downer for general audiences, Ben Affleck's dramatic thriller is a perfectly worthwhile piece of Oscar-friendly entertainment.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
It's a well-told story that's timely, topical and thoroughly entertaining.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It may not have a lot beyond its outrageous story, but the story is undeniably a doozy, and the movie is a blast.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
If you didn't know otherwise, you'd swear this was the work of a veteran master like Steven Soderbergh.
