Steven Spielberg‘s “Disclosure Day” has been unveiled to members of the film press ahead of its June 12 release date, and first reactions are calling the sci-fi UFO-focused movie “Spielberg’s best film in 20 years,” with high praise for star Emily Blunt.
Gizmodo senior entertainment reporter Germain Lussier took to X to share his reaction, writing, “I loved ‘Disclosure Day.’ A dense roller coaster ride blending chase film, love story, & mystery, all wrapped in sci-fi wonder. It’s Spielberg’s best film in 20 years, filled w/ all the magic that makes his films so special, plus an all-time character/performance by Emily Blunt.”
Collider’s Editor-in-Chief, Steven Weintraub, agreed with Lussier’s sentiments, saying, “In a shock to absolutely no one, Steven Spielberg has delivered another towering home run with ‘Disclosure Day.’ I could go on and on about what I loved, but I was lucky enough to see the movie knowing almost nothing, and I strongly recommend you do the same. Stop watching the trailers. The one thing I will say: Emily Blunt is incredible. I know big summer movies aren’t usually the kinds of performances that get awards-season attention, but once people see what she does in this…”Film reporter Bill Bria also spotlighted the film’s “breathtaking compositions, David Koepp’s ‘X-FILES-meets-The Bible’ script is one big high-wire act, Emily Blunt’s most accomplished performance, and John Williams’ best score in years,” calling the movie “riveting, moving stuff.”
