An espionage agent begins working against his own country for the good of the world in this drama based on a true story. Sergei Grigoriev (Emir Kusturica) is a Soviet intelligence operative who has become deeply disillusioned with life under Communism -- while he believes in the ideals the U.S.S.R. was founded upon, he feels they have been become hopelessly compromised by their current leadership, and that the old government must be brought down for the sake of future generations. With this in mind, Grigoriev strikes up a friendship with Pierre Froment (Guillaume Canet), a French engineer who is living and working in Moscow and has no idea his new pal is a spy. Once Grigoriev has gained Froment's confidence, he begins passing classified documents along to Froment with the understanding that they will then be forwarded to French intelligence. It soon becomes clear that what Grigoriev has to share are American state secrets and classified scientific documents confirming the KGB has been digging deep into U.S. security; when the CIA finds out just how much the Russians know, it sparks an international incident and fierce reprisals against the U.S.S.R. Directed by Christian Carion, L'Affaire Farewell (aka Farewell) was based on the true story of KGB agent Vladimir Vetrov; the film also stars Fred Ward, Willem Dafoe, and David Soul. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New Review For Movie Farewell (L'affaire Farewell)
Well-acted but plodding...Tom Huddleston-Time Out
The movie earns its tension and suspense the old-fashioned way: By making you care about its characters, who live in a recognizably real world...
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
A smart and suspenseful thriller, but one that's grounded in the reality of the world we all live in -- whether we're spies or engineers.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
Carion might have found a more artful way to dramatize the case's geopolitical impact, but this is still pretty interesting stuff.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
This cool, understated French thriller might just become one of the best film-based excuses to escape the swelter of summer.
David Hines-Dallas Morning News
The film, based on a true story, is an uneasy mix of generic spy thriller and tensions-at-home family drama, but it's definitely entertaining...
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Keeping the story focused on the personal sacrifices of the two men involved [is] a smart strategy because it makes their secret correspondence even more fraught with danger.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com
Carion's film admirably resists overselling the material: it's an adult espionage film, with no comic-book theatrics. [Blu-ray]
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
Directed by Christian Caron, Farewell is full of great cinematic moments...
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
This witty and gripping thriller is really worth a look.
Roz Laws-Birmingham Post
... a history lesson that's occasionally monotone, but has moments of narrative depth and color.
Norm Schrager-Filmcritic.com
Fascinating little-known spy story.
Victoria Alexander-FilmsInReview.com
An intriguingly low-key Cold War thriller.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
It is a richly intriguing tale about high intrigue, though at times a trifle uncertain...
Philip French-Guardian [UK]
The story of friendship and sacrifice is told in an unfussy, old-fashioned manner but director Christian Carion creates some tense moments and secures game performances...
Allan Hunter-Daily Express
This is a satisfyingly sober thriller, almost melancholy in tone - and as morally complex as a John Le Carré novel.
Cath Clarke-Guardian [UK]
It's a compelling story of how one disillusioned idealist helped change the world - and all for a Sony Walkman and some Queen cassettes!
David Aldridge-Radio Times
The tale of a truly fascinating but little-known espionage operation is told with panache and a dynamic central pairing.
Alice Levick-Little White Lies
Makes for a more original thriller than most, with the saving graces of irony and humour.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
Impressively directed and superbly written, this is a fascinating and gripping story that packs a powerful emotional punch, thanks to a pair of terrific central performances from Guillaume Canet and Emir Kusturica.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
A French thriller based on fact...
Leo Robson-Financial Times
Slightly underpowered as an espionage thriller, this is nonetheless a fascinating story told with real panache.
Ian Nathan-Empire Magazine
Carion delivers a tight, tense and tragic package of the personal and political entwined, with Kusturica's huge presence at its soul.
Kevin Harley-Total Film
It loiters somewhere within the void of movie limbo, destined to be lost amongst all the other films where an interesting idea failed to translate onto the big screen.
Paj Sandhu-Moviedex
By the time Carion winds to an exciting finale, as Pierre and Jessica try to get out of the Soviet Union, this Cold War drama will have already left you cold.
Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune
