The East | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A perfectly functional, if somewhat underwhelming thriller, Batmanglij's The East feels all too much like a more grown-up and less naive version of the director's previous outing.

One of the most enchanting boring movies put to screen.

As it is, crippling plot holes and underdrawn characters may mean you're less than wholly seduced by The East.

Its the rather sensitive portrayals from each character that you will remember the most.

Marling and Batmanglij don't fear or resent entertainment: They make effective thrillers... If they reach a major studio and bigger budget, they could be the right kind of dangerous.
