Disclosure Day review – close encounters of a deferred kind in Spielberg’s conspiracy spectacular

Humans have been secretly abusing aliens for almost 80 years in this big-hearted thriller starring Josh O’Connor as a worried whistleblower and a never-more-magnetic Emily Blunt as a weather forecaster channelling UFO chat The old school is the new school in this very enjoyable and entirely ridiculous space-alien conspiracy adventure from screenwriter David Koepp and director Steven Spielberg; it is cheerfully mischievous and deadly serious in equal measure.

‘Disclosure Day’ Review: Steven Spielberg’s Invigorating Chase Thriller Taps Into the Mania for Alien Conspiracy Theory, but It Never Becomes a Close Encounter with Wonder

Scene for scene, the movie is a vigorous and diverting ride.

‘Disclosure Day’ Review: Steven Spielberg Wraps New Close Encounters Into A Masterful 70’s-Style Thriller That Demands Complex Answers To Otherworldly Mysteries

On its surface Steven Spielberg’s masterfully crafted new film, Disclosure Day might be classified most easily as a 70’s style thriller in the vein of Three Days Of The Condor with Robert Redford or The Parallax View with Warren Beatty in which increasing creeping paranoia over shadowy governmental activities takes over the lives of the […]

Disclosure Day Review

Disclosure Day is vintage Spielberg, and even if it stumbles a bit at the finish line, it's still an original, big-budget science fiction conversation-starter from one of cinema’s all-time greats.
