Chicago Sun-Times
Hitchcock called his most familiar subject "The Innocent Man Wrongly Accused." Jarecki pumps up the pressure here by giving us a Guilty Man Accurately Accused, and that's what makes the film so ingeniously involving. - 91
Entertainment Weekly
The film doesn't turn its issues into a glorified essay, but it does use them to give the audience a vital emotional workout. - 83
Tampa Bay Times
Arbitrage is a classy soap opera with a charismatic louse at its center, without "Margin Call" didactics, or the misplaced empathy of "The Company Men." - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
Nothing about the plot is novel, but the film easily maintains a low simmer that picks up in the final act, as Miller has to fight to keep his sinking ship staffed. - 80
Variety
Between this cast and the conviction Jarecki brings to the table, the film feels incredibly accomplished for a first feature. - 80
Village Voice
Slick and grown-up as Richard Gere himself, this intricate fiscal thriller takes a dead bead on extreme privilege. - 80
Time Out
Amazingly, Gere keeps it all together, via a kind of seething anti-rage that speaks reams to the character's survival instincts. - 75
Slant Magazine
If the film covers well-tread territory (a morally bankrupt player trying to prolong his own influence), it does so with pinpoint control of mood and theme.
