Critics consensus

“Backstabbing for Beginners turns the complex intrigue of a fascinating, real life scandal, into a lifeless and dry slog that not even a scenery-chewing Ben Kingsley can enliven.”

Chandler Levack

RTGlobe and MailMay 4, 2018

Whatever potential was evident in Soussan's source material is wasted on empty clichs and spoiler-alert casting.

B

Great title. Too bad what follows doesn't have the same insouciant charm.

It involves so much internecine crime that it would be hard to understand under any circumstances, but this film is a drier head-scratcher than it needs to be.

Takes an unsexy geopolitical scandal and makes it even more drab.
