The film does a good job at showing how the right succeeded in framing the debate in terms of wussy-liberals-are-squeamish-but-torture-gets-answers.

...[a] procedural drama about the long probe by the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee into the CIA’s use of torture in the wake of 9/11.

An excellent Adam Driver ties himself into knots of frustration in this factually based account of the Senate investigation into the CIA’s post 9/11 EIT...

...Adam Driver, being an actor of endless range and versatility, finds unexpected avenues into some pretty dry dialogue throughout this earnest and densely packed drama.

...a talky yet engrossing drama...

...a film that manages to feel both strict and unsanitised yet utterly absorbing.

...a sober but enthralling slice of recent US history, dense rather than dramatic, never easy but always engrossing, driven by a top-drawer Adam Driver.

...en hemsk men viktig berättelse som levereras sakligt och utan dramatik.
