Review

Examples of great directors still making great films at Steven Spielberg’s age are few and far between. With Disclosure Day, the director who was once the most successful on the planet seeks to tie in all his trademark themes and tropes to one grand final hoopla. There’s a certain poignancy to the fact that the end product ultimately feels worn, uninspired and naïve; it’s almost unfair to expect Spielberg to achieve Close Encounters-levels of inspiration or E.T.-levels of connection to the pop culture around him when he’s approaching eighty. That being said, Disclosure Day does have the curiosity and openmindedness of the former, which gives it some merit and a useful foundation from which to build its story. Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor play the two protagonists, who must come to terms with their inexplicable savant-like and psychic abilities, while being hunted by Colin Firth, the leader of a clandestine government organisation researching alien activity on Earth. The familiar plotlines aren’t really the reason Disclosure Day never quite lifts from the page. The puerile good/bad dichotomy, the outdated car chases, the insipid musical score, the unimpressive visual effects, and the telegraphed denouement are much more of a problem. There are moments of fine filmmaking in here, but as a whole, Disclosure Day has the hallmark of a filmmaker who is past his prime and doesn’t have the creative muscle to deliver the weighty and elegant swan song he would like.
