PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"The Ghost Writer" is handsome, smooth and persuasive (...) Polanski at 76 provides a reminder of directors of the past who were raised on craft, not gimmicks (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"An extraordinarily precise and well-made political thriller—the best thing Polanski has done since the seventies" (David Denby: The New Yorker)

----------------------------------------
"Polanski invites viewers to settle back and simply enjoy a ride whose sinuous curves he navigates with supreme assurance and skill (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post)
----------------------------------------
"It’s decent and intriguing enough, but the film’s director has left the fireworks to his private life. (...) Rating: *** (out of five)" (Ian Nathan: Empire)
