Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The Hoover material is ugly and very American, and it might have made an authentic monster story. But the picture offered is muddled, cautious, and at cross purposes.

fresh:
A pleasing, intelligent film happy to describe Hoover's behaviour as monstrous but too balanced and searching to damn him as a monster.

rotten:
Somehow J. Edgar manages to be both epic and empty.
– Tom Long,

rotten:
Usually the tautest of directors, Clint Eastwood has gone all slack here, allowing his subject to get completely away from him.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,

rotten:
Although Hoover's luster faded as his career went on, Eastwood's movie seems wan from the start.
