Film Threat
The Good Traitor is still a solid movie for history buffs and does contain several moments of genuine style, making it well worth the watch. - 70
The New York Times
Rosendahl’s framing complicates any “great man” narrative of the period, and shows how the energies of public and private worlds course back and forth. - 50
Variety
Fascinating backroom politics circa WWII are undermined by banal marital melodrama in Danish director Christina Rosendahl’s The Good Traitor, resulting in a so-so period drama that raises more questions than it answers. - 50
Original-Cin
No doubt Henrik Kauffmann (Ulrich Thomsen), the Danish ambassador to the United States during Nazi-occupied Denmark, was good. But The Good Traitor, the pseudo-docudrama depicting his life is sadly not.
