Our take

After the success of City of God, Fernando Meirelles made his English-language debut with what proved to be another Academy Awards® hit— nominated in four categories, this prestige political thriller (adapted from a novel by John le Carré) took home Best Supporting Actress for the great Rachel Weisz.
