No classification board we can read has certified this film. We checked the British and American boards; something that has played festivals and had a limited run often has no certificate anywhere yet. Everything above is what the critics we read happened to mention. That is not the same answer asked the same way every time, and we will not dress it up as one. When a board classifies it, this fills in.

Hoffman saves the day — and the movie.

The Revisionist sets off to explore a complicated process (which, to be fair, is hard to dramatize on screen, without fully going the Charlie Kaufman or David Cronenberg route), but ends up simplifying it instead.
