Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The film is often sentimental, sometimes brilliant as well as horrifying, and it is intriguing to speculate on what Bunuel, whom Trumbo originally wanted to direct, would have made of it.

fresh:
Instead of belaboring ironic points about the "war to end war," Trumbo remains stubbornly on the human level.

rotten:
Although Mr. Trumbo is primarily a screenwriter, screenwriting is only the worst of the film's several failures.
