DUELING CRITICS

"An elegant entertainment of the old school, and a solid vehicle for its stars made with the intelligence, glossy production values and classic filmmaking technique that characterizes [director Sydney] Pollack at his finest"

- William Arnold

"The Interpreter is stodgy and misshapen. It manages to be both thoroughly confusing and entirely predictable, thanks to a climactic plot twist that you can see limping toward you about an hour before the maudlin hero manages to"

- David Edelstein
