- 75Film ThreatJosiah TealFilm ThreatJosiah TealThe Good Traitor is still a solid movie for history buffs and does contain several moments of genuine style, making it well worth the watch.
- 70The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe New York TimesNicolas RapoldRosendahl’s framing complicates any “great man” narrative of the period, and shows how the energies of public and private worlds course back and forth.
- 50VarietyAlissa SimonVarietyAlissa SimonFascinating backroom politics circa WWII are undermined by banal marital melodrama in Danish director Christina Rosendahl’s The Good Traitor, resulting in a so-so period drama that raises more questions than it answers.
