The Numbers Tell a Complicated Story
Disclosure Day landed at 89% on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 7.6 out of 10, and a more sobering 73 on Metacritic.
- After converting scores across Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, Metacritic and Letterboxd to a 100 point scale, the film averages out to about 73 out of 100, which puts it firmly in “pretty good” territory rather than the “all time classic” territory fans were expecting.
The Critics Who Didn’t Love It Have a Real Point
One critic called it supremely disappointing and said it feels like an unedited first draft rather than a completed film from a master filmmaker, which is a brutal thing to say about the guy who made Close Encounters and E.T.
- Another reviewer argued that Disclosure Day reveals an artist spinning his wheels when he digs back into his own past triumphs, and that’s the real sting here. It’s not that the movie is terrible. It’s that Spielberg is retreading ground he already conquered decades ago and not quite reaching the same heights.
The question isn’t whether Spielberg can still direct. The story, characters and pacing are what divide people, and those are exactly the things a filmmaker at the top of his game should be nailing every time.
