Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
We are left with the painful irony that a film about a screenwriter so good that Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger couldn't live without him suffers from a dull and slow-moving script.

fresh:
Trumbo is ... a blast, even if the screenplay perversely lacks the energy of its title character, who is played with great wit and brio by Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston.

fresh:
It's a period piece full of colorful characters, natty costumes, jaunty music.

fresh:
The movie's main idea seems to be that, in the end, people prefer movies to ideas. Or at least ideologies.
