The East Synopsis: THE EAST, a suspenseful and provocative espionage thriller from acclaimed writer-director Zal Batmanglij and writer-actress Brit Marling, stars Marling as former FBI agent Sarah Moss. Moss is starting a new career at Hiller Brood, an elite private intelligence firm that ruthlessly protects the interests of its A-list corporate clientele. 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.

Review For The East
A fast-rising newcomer to film, the willowy Marling is maturing fast, and encouragingly unwilling to dumb herself down for stock girlfriend roles. This is her strongest work yet and I hope a harbinger of much more to come.Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Marling and Batmanglij bring an evenhanded perspective to their portrayals of the characters and issues involved.
Soren Anderson-Seattle Times
A watchably confused eco-thriller that's never sure who its heroes are.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe
It is a smart, well-acted drama, and another chance for Marling to exercise her unique talents, creating intriguing characters on the page and the screen.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
"The East" prizes an initial air of mystery over consistent drama, and as a result ends up squandering its intriguing premise.
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky-Chicago Sun-Times
As is often the case with people who become major stars, [Marling] seems as if she has always been there. She's new and yet familiar, as if we've known her all along.
Mick LaSalle-Hearst Newspapers
The film becomes more far-fetched as it goes along, especially while addressing issues of morality and conscience, and ultimately settles for too many familiar thriller elements.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling, creators of the creepy Sound Of My Voice, once again explore underground movements, this time without the SF trappings.
Norman Wilner-NOW Toronto
Batmanglij and Marling's expertly cultivate mystery, especially when Sarah first meets the members of East.
Annlee Ellingson-Paste Magazine
The East is a solid movie with an interesting take on the shadowy world of eco-terrorism, but it doesn't do enough to earn those final bewildering moments.
Chris Knight-National Post
"The East" never goes as deep undercover as it should.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
A couple of rough spots aside, it respects the complexity of the issues it raises.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
The East is a wooden and unappealing chore, treading familiar ground for the filmmakers with an additional layer of clunky, drama-killing political soap-boxing.
Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered
The East is a didactic polemic couched in a mediocre thriller that takes itself far too seriously to be taken seriously...
Tim Cogshell-Alt Film Guide
Shrewd and suspenseful, this is a low-tech, cerebral thriller that raises your social consciousness while oozing a pervasive sense of conspiracy and danger.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
A prickly character study wrapped up in the disguise of an eco-political thriller.
Glenn Dunks-Quickflix
If Batmanglij and Marling collaborate again, they should try to create a story that is fresh, not a retread.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
Intrigues not with good guy-bad guy shtick, but with the conundrum of how to live morally in an inherently immoral West.
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
There are a few missteps in "The East", but nothing to prevent you from enjoying a taut thriller with an exceptional cast.
