Critic Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites
As Soderbergh lovingly peels away veil after veil of deception, the film develops into an unexpected human comedy. Not that any of the characters are laughing.Read the full review
The Onion (A.V. Club) | Tasha RobinsonAdd Critic to Favorites
The Informant! chooses to earn its exclamation point with giggles as well as shock, and the results are thoroughly entertaining.Read the full review
The New York Times | Manohla DargisAdd Critic to Favorites
It is Mr. Soderbergh’s insistence on seeing the A.D.M. scandal as a collective tragedy rather than as another white-collar crime that gives the movie force, resonance, feeling.Read the full review

Box Office: “Precious” Stuns With $100K Weekend Average
11/08/09 Debuting in "Preciouss shadow this weekend were two films that found nice numbers on sole New York screen debuts. Frederick Wiseman's doc "La Danse," which explores the Paris Opera Ballet, sold out all of its shows at New York's Film Forum over the weekend, grossing $14,000. That took its total to $21,220 since opening Wednesday. Due to the heavy demand, a second screen will be added at the Film Forum next Friday - a very rare occurrence at a theater with little flexibility due to their calendar programming. Since the grosses were only limited by the number of screenings and seats. The nearly three hour running time limited it to three screenings per day in a 150 seat theater. But, the theater reported that the Friday shows sold out hours in advance, and the first two shows on Saturday sold out before the first show even began. Perhaps not "Precious" impressive, but certainly a feat in its own right. | indieWIRE -
