Critics consensus

“Though full of good intentions, Focus somehow feels dated, and pounds away its points with a heavy hand.”

It serves as a forceful reminder of how small a difference there can be between unity and bigotry.

RTAustin ChronicleDec 9, 2001

Performances, the story's historical origins, and the inherent goodness and contemporaneity of its storyline make Focus a movie worth viewing.

Focus is well-meaning, but it's all looks with no substance.

Pablo Villaça

RTCinema em CenaOct 9, 2003

Escrita em 1945, a histria concebida por Arthur Miller continua tragicamente atual. Felizmente, o diretor estreante Neal Slavin consegue capturar toda a complexidade e inteligncia do livro em um filme engrandecido por timas atuaes.
