Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Has the passionate, thunderous, and occasionally weepy tone of a good barroom eulogy. Jan 30, 2019 Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail It's a wonderful documentary, full of colourful stories and sharp commentary. It paints a vivid picture of newsrooms filled with vibrant characters and, mainly, it celebrates great writing. Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post Breslin and Hamill may preach too long, but its copious valentines are appropriately strewn with little heartbreaks. Jan 28, 2019 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix The gregarious and blunt [Jimmy] Breslin is the clear standout, compared to the more low-key and sophisticated [Pete] Hamill. Jul 11, 2020 Full Review Kyle Smith National Review To guys like Breslin and Pete Hamill, a dive bar was an office where you met the characters, learned the secrets. Who does that anymore? Apr 17, 2019 Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky It's really not too grand a statement about two guys who lived, breathed and emboldened the printed word. Rated: B+ Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Old School at its best. Journalist when being there counted. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A fawning review of their careers, pointing out the flaws as well as their concern for the little guys. Perhaps a little too fawning, however, as Breslin appeared to be quite a jerk and in love with his own aura Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member As bombastic & fascinating as its subjects; not afraid to expose the darker sides of these heroes who are merely human; a reminder of how important it is to be one who seeks - and fights for - the truth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/19 Full Review Audience Member HBO Documentary 1/30/19 A great look at two American writing writing icons who were always fun to read and equally fun to watch. Love good wordsmiths and these guys were A+ in that category. Breslin more of a character than Hamill but both certainly lived a colorful and interesting life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/19 Full Review Read all reviews
