Annette Bening in particular sorely underused as Redgrave's disapproving daughter. Waltz is the exception... he delivers a masterclass of charm with an undercurrent of evil.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 29, 2022

True-ish crime drama has strong language, domestic abuse.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2022

Solid performances from Waltz, Redgrave and Benning help sell this story that almost feels otherworldly. But its craziness is part of what makes it so compelling, and it’s what keeps you glued to the screen even during its rocky patches.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 17, 2022

Waltz's performance isn't on par with his Oscar-winning roles, but it's good enough to warrant a watch as long as we keep our expectations modest.

Georgetown is something of a "slow burn." Perhaps Waltz's film never quite bursts into flame, but it diligently and intelligently sets about its work.

| Jun 25, 2021

Georgetown is by no means a disastrous movie, nor even a particularly bad one; it is drab though, no more than aesthetically competent

| Jun 6, 2021

A guilty pleasure that trades on the occasional pleasures of guilt.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 4, 2021

Much like its slippery protagonist, Georgetown holds your attention. But again, much like hanging around said protagonist, you may not be sure your time was well spent.

Christoph Waltz is such a master at playing debonair and duplicitous manipulator...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 22, 2021

Waltz delivers a dazzling, memorable con.

| May 21, 2021

Waltz has provided himself with a role tailored made to his strengths, while Redgrave is still able to bring her particular brand of fire to the screen

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | May 21, 2021

I found it moderately entertaining... Poor Annette Bening was wasted.

| May 21, 2021

It's silly, but watching Vanessa Redgrave get wooed by a younger man -- Christoph Waltz is laying on the charm -- is nice.

| May 21, 2021

With moments of bitter humor mixed with appalling pain, GEORGETOWN is just about as disturbing as its chronic-liar main character is disturbed. But superb acting and taught direction makes it highly watchable.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 20, 2021

The cast can only do so much with thin material, and Waltz, duping and swindling grandly, isn't equipped to make the long con interesting.

| May 18, 2021

The acting is first-rate from start to finish, but it is really Mr. Waltz who keeps the action flowing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 17, 2021

The ambition exceeds the grasp of this muddled directorial debut, which struggles to maintain its satirical edge amid tonal inconsistencies.

| May 15, 2021

The script by David Auburn is more interested in the culture of the title neighborhood than insight into the characters' lives.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 14, 2021

Christoph Waltz is so charming that you may feel sorry that his defense attorneys could not win a not guilty verdict.

| Original Score: A- | May 12, 2021

Georgetown is a must-see if you are a fan of Waltz's work, but it is also a must-see for the power new up-and-coming directors are bringing to audiences.
