| Sober Film Critic James Brown | 99 | - I've been hesitant to say this in 2015 so far, but I'm ready to pull the trigger. Bridge of Spies might just be the best damn movie of the year. (full review) |

| Malfrey | 85 | - Everything is so patient, gifted with great writing, casting, music, and of course cinematography (full review) |
| Bryan Lienesch | 84 | - At its core, 'Bridge of Spies' is not a thriller about a few prisoners. No, it is a dissection of what made the 'Cold War' a terrifying and tense time. |

| Lisa Marie Bowman | 75 | - Good but very conventional. By this point, Steven Spielberg doesn't have a subversive bone in his body. (full review) |
