	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The Ghost Writer" is handsome, smooth and persuasive (...) Polanski at 76 provides a reminder of directors of the past who were raised on craft, not gimmicks (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"
		David Denby The New Yorker	"An extraordinarily precise and well-made political thriller—the best thing Polanski has done since the seventies"
		Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"Polanski invites viewers to settle back and simply enjoy a ride whose sinuous curves he navigates with supreme assurance and skill (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Ian Nathan Empire	"It’s decent and intriguing enough, but the film’s director has left the fireworks to his private life. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
