Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's an interesting way to represent the past, though the use of space, actors, and archival footage seems more theatrical than cinematic.

fresh:
Rarely moving a facial muscle except to exhale smoke and brimstone, Strathairn wonderfully recaptures Murrow's deadpan delivery style.

... it telescopes -- with no loss of accuracy -- Murrow's last few fifties hurrahs as the hardest diamond in Bill Paley's 'Tiffany network.'

fresh:
It's a modest but powerful affair, and a fantastic mood piece.
