Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The film holds because of the brilliance of Hurt and the fascination of Whalley-Kilmer, as well as the sly, tongue-in-cheek viciousness of Bridget Fonda's Mandy Rice-Davies.
– Sheila Benson,
Los Angeles Times,

fresh:
Scandal is an express tour of the Profumo affair that moves with a pop historian's revisionist swagger and plays like News of the World headlines set to early '60s rock 'n' roll.
– Richard Corliss,
TIME Magazine,
8 May 2013
fresh:
The greatest virtue of the filmmakers' straightforward approach is that it avoids the obvious pitfall of pretentiousness.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,
8 May 2013
fresh:
Caton-Jones is not the most stylistically assured of filmmakers, but his ability with actors is obvious. For this project, that is enough to turn the flat conventions of the docudrama into something resembling life.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
Hurt is excellent as the charming but shallow Ward.
