Empire Magazine
pressClooney doesn’t want to leave you with that cosy Ron Howard feeling. He wants to leave you stimulated, talkative and, perhaps, a little combative about the current state of our corporate-badged media. A second viewing certainly promises further rewards.
Variety
pressA vital chapter of mid-century history is brought to life concisely, with intimacy and matter-of-fact artistry.
Rolling Stone
pressIn ninety-three tight, terrifically exciting minutes, Clooney makes integrity look mighty sexy. With the help of cinematographer Robert Elswit and editor Stephen Mirrione.
Roger Ebert
