The Parallax View Ratings & Reviews
- alexnoaholdmateFebruary 15, 2026A film that taps into the Watergate-era sense of paranoia and persecution that so gripped America in the 70s. Perhaps it spoke profoundly to its audience in 1974; today, it seems too clever by half. Warren Beatty competent but hardly arresting. Hume Cronyn excellent, as always - one of the few bright notes.
- ColeJuly 16, 2025A journey into the abyss and best believe it looks back at you. An absolutely bleak political thriller that’ll make you feel hopeless as corporations shape the modern political landscape with human pawns. Conspiracy will be sure to consume you with this one.
- spira27February 10, 2026Some interesting scenes but overall slow paced and unresolved.
- Guy PetersDecember 27, 2025Classic story of mid 70s mistrust and the government. Who do you trust with your life?
