The Pact Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
While impressive enough on a surface level, The Pact gradually reveals itself to be hollow in key areas.
Film Threat
Sumner Forbes
Anyone yearning for a thoughtful foreign drama filled with a first-rate cast need look no further.
Edge Media Network
Frank J. Avella
August keeps things interesting when the film is focused on the Blixen and Bjrnvig relationship, and it's a fascinating one--the dynamics, the power play, the sexual tension. That's the reason to see the film.
Observer
Rex Reed
A fascinating footnote to the story of Isak Dinesen and the impossible standards that defined her accomplishments and failures.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
An interesting, impeccably groomed period piece...
Screen Rant
Nadir Samara
The film is masterful in exploring the kinetic energy between its leads, even in the most subdued scenes. It's a slow burn, but one feels the heat.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This handsomely mounted period melodrama benefits from solid performances and intriguing character dynamics.
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
[A] well-acted drama about the price of literary ambition...
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
A little too straightforward and bland... But it's an admirable film.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Deftly mounted, shot and scored, "The Pact" is a master class in ensemble acting, led by Neumann in a visceral, deeply layered and knife's-edge turn.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
It's not that the intrigues (based on real-life Bjornvid's own memoirs) or personalities aren't compelling, but rather that their trajectory becomes a little too obvious too soon, making this a plush but rather attenuated two-hour anecdote.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Handsomely mounted but narratively inert.
