Marling and Batmanglij don't fear or resent entertainment: They make effective thrillers... If they reach a major studio and bigger budget, they could be the right kind of dangerous.

Its morally ambiguous investigation of extreme left-wing politics is ... light years away from usual multiplex concerns.
Guy Lodge, Time Out
Rotten
The latest collaboration between director Zal Batmanglij and screenwriter Brit Marling suffers from the same problem as their previous picture, Sound of My Voice: It's taut, compelling, unpredictable and completely wipes out in the final few minutes.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

"The East" leaves questions unanswered, but at least it asks those questions.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Fresh
A fast-rising newcomer to film, the willowy Marling is maturing fast, and encouragingly unwilling to dumb herself down for stock girlfriend roles. This is her strongest work yet and I hope a harbinger of much more to come.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
