	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"There's enough plot to stuff a miniseries, but Redford never loses sight of the human drama (...) A riveting, resonant political thriller that values the complexity of its characters and the intelligence of its audience (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"The disparate elements in 'The Company You Keep' are robustly collated by the keen, well-crafted direction of a master filmmaker at the top of his form. It's only April, but this is one of the best films of 2013 (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"The Company You Keep" is a shrewder, more satisfying piece of filmmaking than we've seen from Redford in a while, though not quite in the league with his best behind-the-camera work"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Robert Redford makes a welcome return to double-duty as director and lead actor in this clear-eyed drama about a former Weather Underground radical forced to reconcile with the past"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"The Company You Keep chews on issues of violence in a muffled way, but restraint is not the quality this story was calling for"	NEU
