Michael Clayton Ratings & Reviews
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Confident in the story's power and the moviegoers' intelligence, Gilroy uses only one explosion to own our rapt attention.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Clooney's glamorous intelligence is deepened by his constant hints that slickness, like corporate integrity, is just an act.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Smart and exciting, Michael Clayton takes the audience on a ride whose pleasures almost sneak up on you and are all the more satisfying because of it.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
This is Gilroy's first film as director; I can't wait to see what he's got next.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
Michael Clayton definitely has its heart in the '70s.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Smart and thoroughly entertaining.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
George Clooney just keeps getting better and better. His performance here is rich and deep and layered, and seeing him work through his range of reactions is enormously moving. It provides a strong center for the legal thriller swirling around him.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This doesn't begin to deserve the Oscar nominations it's likely to get, but I had a good time with it nonetheless.
Reeler
Keith Uhlich
Dude, there's a bomb in your car.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Full of plausible characters who are capable of surprising - and surpassing - your expectations.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
One of my favorite movies of the year.
UGO
Brian Tallerico
A dense trip into the gray areas of the legal world that film fans will go back to again and again like the classics that inspired it. Don't miss it.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
This is unequivocally a thriller for adults
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Every performance in this film is spot-on.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
There are more than ample rewards for discerning adults: Some of the best dialogue in a recent movie and a gallery of unforgettable performances.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
In an accomplished directorial debut, Gilroy gives the film a shadowy, autumnal hue and combines image and sound in sometimes surprising and ingenious ways.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The ultimate showcase for the defining male lead of our time.
Blender
David Fear
There is a lot to admire in [Michael Clayton] regarding corruption and personal responsibility. You may, however, want to cut out before [the end].
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
If Michael Clayton's particular mix of law and commerce gets a little murky, that murkiness also gives the film a shadowy aura.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Clooney, for his part, allows his movie star looks to go flabby and soft (all things being relative, of course), and he buries the performance way down in his gut.
