Reviews

Fay Grim is less concerned with the details of contemporary spy-craft and global deception than with broader moral questions. [18 May 2007]

In the film's America, the government has been replaced by an advertising firm. [29 July 2005]

Its strengths lie not in this improbable plot, but in Hartley's challenges to conventions. [1 December 2003]

Arid and hermetic, it's the first misstep in Hartley's intriguing and varied career. [4 April 2002]
