Early social-media reactions from press screenings praised "Disclosure Day" as a major Spielberg comeback, with several critics calling it his strongest work since 2002 or in 20 years.
Reviews highlighted Emily Blunt's performance, John Williams' score and a genre mix of sci-fi, mystery, romance and chase-thriller elements, with one critic calling it Spielberg's "weirdest" film in a positive sense.
The film stars Blunt and Josh O'Connor in a story about aliens being real and a global cover-up, with Colin Firth, Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo in supporting roles.
