Metacritic reviews

May be the best movie of the year.

A dead-on tale of corporate power, courage, cowardice and how we live.

Is still sleek, gripping entertainment with a raw-nerved, changeable camera style that helps to amplify its meaning.

Power to absorb, entertain and anger.

At its best, hard-hitting grown-up cinema (rare these days) and a movie blessed with a villain (Big Tobacco) for which all gloves can be removed and heaved into the next county.

This is a first-class muckraking melodrama: an admirable picture.

Earnest, smart, handsome, well-acted and made with mastery.

A meticulously assembled dramatization of a grossly controversial moment in TV history.

A good but far from great movie because it portrays truth telling in America as far more imperiled than it is.

An exciting dramatization of the strange events that marked the turning of the legal tide against Big Tobacco, and a particularly dark moment in the annals of CBS News.
