      Critics Consensus

      Rachel Weisz puts on a compelling smoldering act though the film suffers from a literal-minded approach to the material.

      Connor A This is a good film. Rachel Weisz gives a strong performance and the rest of the cast does a good job too. This film is depressing and can be hard to watch for some viewers, but it tells an important story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Ben N Another tale about corruption and corporate greed trumping human rights, and human decency. This was a dark and gritty journey to take, for me - sitting on a couch with snacks. My heart goes out to those poor kids who through greed, naivety, or need were duped or betrayed by friends and family. The family left behind are shattered as well. I am disgusted at the choices made by those in charge of the 'peacekeepers' at Democra (I forget the real name of the real company right now...) Sure it starts with the criminals, and the men with boots on the ground. But the buck stops with the supervisors, and the human dignity of the mission is lost there. We must demand more from leadership, and take corporations off the pedestal, as though capitalism can do no wrong. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/23 Full Review Stephen L Unbelievable Must Watch Movie - Its the Horrifying Truth about Human Trafficking. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Mark S Powerful, moving and well acted film, but definitely not a 'feel good' movie. You won't be disappointed, but you may well be depressed... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/22 Full Review Audience Member An important story & decent lead performance from Weisz are cut off at the knees by a bad script, cheaply shot, with poor direction & confusing editing. Subject matter is better executed on any given episode of ‘SVU’. #nitrosMovieChallenge Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/22 Full Review Richard H Great movie, makes it painfully obvious why it is so important for the powers that be to make it increasingly difficult to become a whistleblower Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Joe Clay Times (UK) [A] compelling and alarming fact-based drama... Oct 26, 2022 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com The Whistleblower is a strong effort made even more so thanks to the mesmerizing talents of star Rachel Weisz. Rated: 3/4 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) The closing minutes of the film suggest the most challenging parts of the story still remains untold. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 18, 2011 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Directed by Larysa Kondracki and co-written with Eilis Kirwan, The Whistleblower pulls no punches, going for the grit and grime, and more often than, horrifying visuals of sexual slavery and abuse. Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Examiner Weisz carries the film. Rated: 3/5 Jan 8, 2019 Full Review PJ Nabarro Patrick Nabarro All the players in The Whistleblower are broad ciphers, in service of the simplistic, didactic intentions of the plot. Rated: 2/5 Dec 8, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
