"
You're in for a hell of a ride with this high-voltage thriller. Jessica Chastain is a marvel."
You're in for a hell of a ride with this high-voltage thriller. Jessica Chastain is a marvel."
“The best picture of the year"
"The Best Picture of the Year"
"Bigelow's direction is as crisp as ever."
"Bigelow &Boal are in a kind of sync that is rare in the history of cinema. Boal has raised the bar on the output of Bigelow's master-level visual skill by giving her material to work with that is seriously challenging and meaningful."
“Chastain inhabits this woman fully. It's a very lived-in performance, and she continues to blow me away in terms of how much technical skill she exhibits as an actor, and yet how natural every choice she makes seems to be."
“Greig Fraser's cinematography is great and grounded throughout"
“The movie is as relentless as its heroine. Chastain will earn her second Oscar nomination."
“ZERO DARK THIRTY moves with speed, weight, brains and grace."
"On a technical level, Zero Dark Thirty is a marvel."
"A Tour de Force"
"Jessica Chastain is a revelation."
“The work of a commanding filmmaker"
"A Film To Define A Decade."
"Jessica Chastain's performance is worth its weight in gold."
"Ms. Bigelow's direction here is unexpectedly stunning, at once bold and intimate: she has a genius for infusing even large-scale action set pieces with the human element."
"The Best Picture of the Year"
