- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Director Scott Z. Burns champions the untested crusader vs. powerful vested interests more concerned with protection rather than any sort of truth seeing the light of day.
- Vince Mancini @ Uproxx
- Excerpt: The Report is The Insider for torture.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: The information itself is dramatic and tense regardless of whether the lead has the capacity to add more to it than an incredulous face.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: Driver dominates this film with nuanced understandings of his place in all of this, let alone having enough confidence to show how doing less can mean much more.

- Excerpt: ‘The Report’ is technically a fine movie, and one that not-accidentally resembles many an award-winning journalistic procedural, but its levelheadedness and emotionally flat approach can be its worst enemy and keep audiences from engaging in its moral plight.
