It's good for a watch but far from a perfect film.
January 01, 2000
Its own terms and for much of the way, this is a superior thriller.
March 26, 2009
Though it attempts to make an acceptable theatrical entertainment out of a complex political saga, Hidden Agenda lacks bigscreen impact.
January 27, 2004
Made in 1990, it feels and looks like it's from 1980. Frances McDormand is an especially snoozy disappointment in a woefully miscast role.

This quietly explosive film comes to resonate more loudly than melodrama.
May 24, 2003
Gripping stuff, even if the outbreak of peace in Northern Ireland has somewhat blunted the message.
March 30, 2009
Well-intentioned, but rather murky.

Hidden Agenda could be accused of being dogmatic (Loach's films frequently slam the U.K. government), but the director keeps a sense of gritty authenticity throughout.

Ken Loach's Hidden Agenda must be the most buttoned-down movie about a conspiracy theory ever made.
July 30, 2002
Simplistic and unconvincing, but with some power
January 09, 2009
It's made with the flaggelatory ardour that Ken Loach brings to all his films, a hard edged realism pounded into the mortar of cinema with naturalism
June 24, 2006
There's plenty of evidence of Loach's undiminished power as a film-maker, and equally ample evidence that something is very rotten in the state of Northern Ireland.
