What the critics said

Notable Critics

"It's a good thing Wigand isn't a conventional, come-to-the-rescue hero in The Insider, because, although Michael Mann tries for a victory dance, there's ultimately little cause for cheer."

— Peter Rainer

"A masterpiece, a brilliant dissection of recent US politics and the media by a scalpel-sharp screen sensibility."

— Mark Kermode
