Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: This quietly explosive film comes to resonate more loudly than melodrama.
Rotten: Though it attempts to make an acceptable theatrical entertainment out of a complex political saga, Hidden Agenda lacks bigscreen impact.
Fresh: Ken Loach's Hidden Agenda must be the most buttoned-down movie about a conspiracy theory ever made.
Fresh: Its own terms and for much of the way, this is a superior thriller.
