Catherine Bray

Empire Magazine

[Gyllenhaal 's] energy is perfect for the relatively sober-minded The Covenant — and allows space for Dar Salim to shine, in a more substantial lead than the majority of his Hollywood roles have afforded him so far.

Rated: 4/5

Financial Times

Though the movie is fictional, the uncertain fate of thousands of real Afghan interpreters after the hurried 2021 US withdrawal gives it genuine heft.

Rated: 3/5

The Gospel Coalition

In telling a specific story of wartime camaraderie, the film offers good fodder for discussions of grace, guilt, and the gospel.
