Disclosure Day is about to crash-land into theaters this weekend.
The movie features Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo. The film was created and directed by Steven Spielberg. David Koepp wrote the screenplay for the film.
Here’s the logline: “If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people. We are coming close to … Disclosure Day.”
The movie hits theaters Friday (June 12). But what are critics saying so far?
Disclosure Day has an 82% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The LA Times says: “Decades after Spielberg unveiled his signature shot — a face amazed at wonders we can’t see — he seems wearied by his awareness that today’s moment of revelation would look like a person staring down at their phone.”
The New York Post gives it 3 out of 4, writing: “Williams hasn’t retired yet. But should Disclosure Day mark his and Spielberg‘s final collaboration — their 30th — the duo goes out as masters of their craft.”
Washington Post gives it 3.5 out of 4, saying: “Spielberg’s story isn’t conspiratorial. It’s a spectacular tale about what we see, what we hear, and how both can change what we believe and how we treat each other. By the final frame of this beautiful, immersive film, you realize it’s a plea.”
The Atlantic says: “Disclosure Day’s epic conclusion comes across as if Spielberg is sending the audience a message, begging them to use their hearts and heads too… I loved every second.”
The London Evening Standard gives it 4 out of 5, saying: “Here’s the first disclosure, the one you might have been hoping for most. Steven Spielberg is back on magic-weaving form with what is probably his best film since 2002’s Catch Me If You Can.”
The Seattle Times gives it 4 out of 4, writing: “The actors are a joy. I hadn’t realized that I’ve long wanted to see Colman Domingo and Colin Firth face off, their velvet voices creating dusky music; sometimes movies give you unanticipated gifts.”
The Australian gives it 3.5 out of 5 and adds: “This feels like a big, brash American thriller that’s designed to rile, anger, provoke – and increase the paranoia among the already paranoid. But it’s also massively entertaining.”
The Observer says: “While this is not a top-tier Spielberg movie, it is still an archetypal one: both stylish and sincere, hopeful and hokey.”
Mashable concludes: “I wish life were like a Steven Spielberg movie.”
Emily Blunt explained why she rejected AI for a scene in the movie.
