Industry Reviews
"[A] passionate, thoughtful essay on power, truth-telling and responsibility."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (09/23/2005)
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Clooney emerges as a powerhouse filmmaker....Clooney has crafted a period piece that speaks potently to [the] here-and-now..."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (10/20/2005)
"David Strathairn plays Murrow, a performance eerily on the money and tinged with irony….The extensive footage of McCarthy is artfully integrated."
USA Today - Mike Clark (10/07/2005)
"[A] marvel of classic restraint in a hopped-up film culture. Shot in elegant black and white with impeccable ensemble acting and moody jazz riffs for a soundtrack, it wouldn't exist except for the lonely passion of director, co-writer and costar George Clooney."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (10/07/2005)
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[W]hen the movie's at is smartest, it's dazzlingly bright....David Stratharin, playing Murrow, follows his writers' lead beautifully, delivering a performance that's all understatement on the surface and searing fire underneath."
Premiere - Glenn Kenny (11/01/2005)
"[A]n energized sliver of history, smart, sharp, and lively, staged with enjoyable panache..." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (10/14/2005)
"David Strathairn's extraordinary performance dominates the film with its gravitas, pathos and even a streak of deadpan humour."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (11/01/2005)
