“Of course, it wouldn’t be a juicy ascendancy story without a steady flow of Machiavellian machinations and revelations, although they are delivered effectively here...”
★★★★★ Nick Howells, London Evening Standard

“The smartest decision that Berger makes is simply to stay out of the way. This is a movie built around, and held together by, performances.”
★★★★ Kevin Maher, Times

“A glossily transferred airport novel first and a deeper drama about the world of religion second. Given how few high-class thrillers of this scale we actually get on the big screen at this moment, I would vote for more.”
★★★★ Benjamin Lee, Guardian
