| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoThe Whistleblower is one of those issue films that is more passionate and sincere than artistic but it has such a compelling story that it demands being seen despite its flaws. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseIn the anger, hope, desperation, and passion of the moment, Weisz channels lighting into a few minutes of screen time that are as powerful, as moving, and as dazzling as any actor has ever accomplished |

| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn earnest but sluggish tale of corruption in the aftermath of the Bosnian war. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA compelling true story about the transformation of a female Nebraska cop into a heroic whistleblower in Bosnia in 1999. |
