Rotten Tomatoes reports that 84% of critics gave the film a positive review, based on over 220 reviews.
According to the Irish Times, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a strong contender for the title of the greatest espionage film of all time.
Honestly, everyone in the cast was amazing, but Gary Oldman really stole the show as the ringleader. The way he played it – so controlled, yet almost completely still – reminded me of how incredible Alec Guinness was in that old miniseries. And the New Republic wasn’t kidding when they called it riveting – I was totally hooked!
According to a review in The Guardian, this film is a deeply atmospheric, thought-provoking, and stark adaptation of John le Carré’s Cold War spy novel. The reviewer found it more captivating than typical action movies, calling it a surprising and delightful experience.
Catch Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy tonight on BBC One at 11:10 PM. If you miss it, you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer. It’s also streaming on Studiocanal Presents, an extra channel you can add to your Prime Video subscription.
