Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: There are many other dull and naughty characters in this brisk whirl on the Washington merry-go-round.
Fresh: The settings are powerfully like real. A Senate hearing room, the Senate itself, a party home in immediate Washington and varying apartments plus a place in DC suburbia all have the look of genuineness.
Fresh: Grips like a vice thanks to the skill with which Preminger's stunning mise en scene absorbs documentary detail.
Fresh: The star of this absorbing, mature piece is the American political process itself, which with all its corruption and decency is, or at least seems to be, captured in authentic detail.
Customer Reviews
Advise & Consent
This is one of the great classic political thrillers of all time. A cast of Hollywood legends and a very compelling screenplay. Years ahead of it's time.
Advise & Consent
Still timely film about DC politicians and the things they will do to retain and attain power.
