Saw this at the movies tonight. Best movie I've seen in a long time! A style of directing that I wish was used more often. Understated, quiet, with just a bit of music that sets the mood. Little talking, but much is said through facial expressions and other little things. Very 70s feel to it all. And stellar acting all around. Gary Oldman is fantastic as George Smiley! I will definitely buy this on BluRay when it comes out and watch it again, this is one of those movies that open up a little more every time you watch it. Fantastic!

Agreed, it was very well done and smart.

The way it was put together was magnificent. Cold war film that is a must see.

I too enjoyed the book. I am leary of seeing the movies as they rarely follow the book. I feel it makes it hard to follow the movie,lol.

Am I bad for missing the Cold War? I mean, crazed Islamic fanatics just don't hold a candle to the subtle dance between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A.
Although, based on some of the socialists and communists that are becoming increasingly open about their agenda, maybe it isn't dead after all.

I don't know if anyone here is either a) old enough to remember watching TV and movies in the mid-to-late 1970s or b) British or used to lots of British film and TV. I am both, having grown up in Britain when I was young and having watched lots of BBC fare w/ my folks in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Anyway, TTSS had this weird effect on me, by virtue of the film stock, camera work, production values, and directorial style. It gave me this tangible sense of deja vu, like I was 10 years old again, and watching a BBC spy movie with my dad in 1980. It was a weird, and once I got used to it, nifty feeling.
PS- TTSS was also, in its own weird way, a pretty funny movie. Those office party scenes...hilariously weird.
