Leave your thoughts about Affairs of State.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA gripping, provocative and refreshingly unpredictable political thriller. |
| ForbesLuke Y. ThompsonIf the movie were self-aware enough to understand its true nature as glorious direct-to-video junk, it would look a whole lot less pretty, but its lurid cheap thrills would be more thrilling and lurid. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayNothing here is revelatory — at least not to anyone who reads the op-ed pages or has watched “The Good Wife.” But the movie is refreshingly smart about how real feelings can get in the way of callous calculation. |

| User ReviewSally Gengaging and relevant, this movie kept me entertained the whole time. Amazing performances. |
