Terry Staunton Radio Times Sep 29, 2022 3/5

Annette Bening in particular sorely underused as Redgrave's disapproving daughter. Waltz is the exception... he delivers a masterclass of charm with an undercurrent of evil.

True-ish crime drama has strong language, domestic abuse.

Solid performances from Waltz, Redgrave and Benning help sell this story that almost feels otherworldly. But its craziness is part of what makes it so compelling, and it’s what keeps you glued to the screen even during its rocky patches.

Waltz's performance isn't on par with his Oscar-winning roles, but it's good enough to warrant a watch as long as we keep our expectations modest.

Georgetown is something of a "slow burn." Perhaps Waltz's film never quite bursts into flame, but it diligently and intelligently sets about its work.

Georgetown is by no means a disastrous movie, nor even a particularly bad one; it is drab though, no more than aesthetically competent

A guilty pleasure that trades on the occasional pleasures of guilt.

Much like its slippery protagonist, Georgetown holds your attention. But again, much like hanging around said protagonist, you may not be sure your time was well spent.

Christoph Waltz is such a master at playing debonair and duplicitous manipulator...

Waltz has provided himself with a role tailored made to his strengths, while Redgrave is still able to bring her particular brand of fire to the screen

I found it moderately entertaining... Poor Annette Bening was wasted.

It's silly, but watching Vanessa Redgrave get wooed by a younger man -- Christoph Waltz is laying on the charm -- is nice.

Michael Medved The Michael Medved Show May 20, 2021 2.5/4

With moments of bitter humor mixed with appalling pain, GEORGETOWN is just about as disturbing as its chronic-liar main character is disturbed. But superb acting and taught direction makes it highly watchable.

The cast can only do so much with thin material, and Waltz, duping and swindling grandly, isn't equipped to make the long con interesting.

The acting is first-rate from start to finish, but it is really Mr. Waltz who keeps the action flowing.

The ambition exceeds the grasp of this muddled directorial debut, which struggles to maintain its satirical edge amid tonal inconsistencies.

The script by David Auburn is more interested in the culture of the title neighborhood than insight into the characters' lives.

Christoph Waltz is so charming that you may feel sorry that his defense attorneys could not win a not guilty verdict.

Georgetown is a must-see if you are a fan of Waltz's work, but it is also a must-see for the power new up-and-coming directors are bringing to audiences.
