Critics' reviews

"The miniseries weaves a spectacularly well-constructed story--intricate, dense, demanding and rewarding--about loyalty, deception, forgiveness and revenge."

Tim Goodman: The Hollywood Reporter
"'The Honourable Woman' is a slow-building but gripping story (...) Gyllenhaal delivers a remarkably measured and moving performance."

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
"We can confirm that it boasts a string of crackerjack performances from the likes of Stephen Rea as a hangdog spy, Janet McTeer as his spook boss, Lubna Azabal as the housekeeper of Nessa's brother (Andrew Buchan), and Gyllenhaal herself."

Ray Rahman: Entertainment Weekly
"The Middle East lends itself to intrigues, backstabbings, frontstabbings and long-term vendettas (...) and writer-director Hugo Blick lets his puzzle pieces assemble with slow, deliberate power and more than a few surprises."

Tom Long: Detroit News
"While there are some deeply disturbing images, 'The Honorable Woman' is an astute, sensitive and at times delicate psychological drama that is evenhanded in the nonincendiary sense of the word."

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
