Reception
[edit]On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, The Good Traitor holds an approval rating of 44% based on 16 reviews.[2] The New York Times complimented, The Good Traitor "shows how the energies of public and private worlds course back and forth".[3] Variety was less complimentary, "Fascinating backroom politics circa WWII are undermined by banal marital melodrama in Danish director Christina Rosendahl's The Good Traitor, resulting in a so-so period drama that raises more questions than it answers."[4]
