Hank Stuever Washington Post It's a factually accurate account of the man's work and its importance and meaning in (and beyond) the nation's capital, especially now, in all this bitterly partisan noise. Jan 27, 2014 Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today In print, on the Internet and through multiple mobile platforms, newspapers solider on, but editorial cartoonists are an endangered species. Watching Herblock may show you why they're worth saving. Jan 27, 2014 Full Review David Von Drehle TIME Magazine Herblock is an earnest, well-made accounting of a remarkable and important life. Jan 27, 2014 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A provocative, illuminating and vital tribute to Herbert Block. It should be mandatory viewing for every young American.

Audience Member A welcome retrospective on the life of our greatest editorial cartoonist. This would have been 4 out of 5 stars, but I gave it a mandatory half-star deduction for including interviews with Tom Friedman, Richard Cohen, and David Brooks. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Required viewing for journalists and politicians. This would have gotten 5 stars from me, but at the end you find out that Herbert Block has been played by an actor for the entire documentary. I hate when people do this. Let us know at the beginning. The audience ends up feeling duped. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
