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

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

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

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

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.

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 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

Georgetown adds up to an occasionally amusing and insightful beltway satire that's ultimately undone by its conventional mise-en-scène and predictable plot.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 2, 2019

There are a great many fantasies concocted in Georgetown but perhaps the most egregious is that this was the right way to tell such a beguiling story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 2, 2019

Waltz shows ambition in juggling Mott's stories with "the truth" (an idea always implied in quotes here), working with DP Henry Braham to orchestrate dynamic situations and complex camera moves...

| May 2, 2019

It's the kind of serious but broadly appealing, modestly scaled picture that people love to say doesn't exist any more.

| May 2, 2019

The way that the film resolves - or doesn't - leaves the distinct impression that Waltz simply ran out of interest in this story, which would be an explanation as understandable as it is frustrating.

| Original Score: C | May 2, 2019

Georgetown... while not downright terrible, isn't better than average and continues Waltz's inglorious sans-Tarantino career.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 2, 2019

Beneath the thrills and fun, Waltz delivers a clear warning about the dangers of buying into charm, using his own as perfect weapon and cleverly savage messenger.
