Handpicked for a plum assignment by the company's head honcho, Sharon (Patricia Clarkson), Sarah goes deep undercover to infiltrate The East, an elusive anarchist collective seeking revenge against major corporations guilty of covering up criminal activity. Determined, highly-trained and resourceful, Sarah soon ingratiates herself with the group, overcoming their initial suspicions and joining them on their next action or "jam." But living closely with the intensely committed members of The East, Sarah finds herself torn between her two worlds as she starts to connect with anarchist Benji (Alexander Skarsgård) and the rest of the collective, and awakens to the moral contradictions of her personal life.

The East Movie Review | |
| Marling and Batmangli are smart enough to know that character and ideas matter, and how the presence of those things can improve action and suspense. James Rocchi-MSN Movies In most respects a conventional genre picture. But it's passionate (and weird) enough to evolve into something mysterious and moving. David Edelstein-Vulture As uncertain as she is as a screenwriter, Marling is even less accomplished as an actress - problems she compounds by invariably giving herself the lead role in her own scripts. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger A cockamamie valentine to eco-terrorism. Kyle Smith-New York Post It gives us an interesting character with genuine moral ambiguity and demands that she make tough choices and that we think about what tactics we support -- and then it completely fritters it all away with a pat ending. Alonso Duralde-The Wrap The whole movie has the smugness of a cult. At one and the same time it's devoid of reality and insufferably full of itself. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal What makes The East a necessary destination is that it explores the personal why's behind these homegrown terrorists, and discovers each individual's mixed motives for taking the law into their own hands. Thelma Adams-Yahoo! Movies Thoughtful and emotionally risky. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media Fast-paced and energetic. Eric Kohn-indieWIRE As a thriller, the movie begins with a taught pace but then begins to lose that discipline as the film dwindles along. Jack Giroux-Film School Rejects Marling and Batmanglij deliver again with a smart script focusing on timely themes, such as the rise of the Occupy movement, the dangers of fracking, and recent environmental disasters. Alicia Malone-IGN Movies The movie is constructed and acted so well, you begin to really empathize with the people much as Sarah does and I found myself in similar moral grey areas. Don R. Lewis-Film Threat The East follows a predictable path, but it's impressively made, with tense, old-fashioned setpieces and an eye for moral complications Robert Levin-amNewYork perfectly competent but still somewhat generic Chris Barsanti-Film Racket Replace [Sound of My Voice's] cult with this film's collective, a group bonded via trust rituals and unusual dietary demands; an outsider whose truth remains suspect and an ending based on betrayal and essentially you've got the same film. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews Though the script...could've used another polish, as a filmmaker, Batmanglij is still at the head of the class of up-and-coming directors...The East is definitely a movie that's going to divide people but it'll be a conversation worth having. Cory Everett-The Playlist Marling and her co-writer and director Zal Batmanglij explore this subject with intelligence and feeling for the ethical and moral issues involved. Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks The suspense and impressive performances make "The East" a thoughtful political thriller worth the time at the box office. Kristian Harloff-Schmoes Know The next step in the promising careers of Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij: you'll enjoy the ride, think about it's themes...and then want to get a shower. Mark Ellis-Schmoes Know Gripping, intelligent and deeply socially conscious thriller-a singular combination-that hits the bull's-eye both for satisfying entertainment and timely relevance. David Noh-Film Journal International The movie's squishy moralism withstands only a tad more scrutiny than its plot contrivances. Greg Evans-Bloomberg News | |
