Hank Stuever Washington Post 01/27/2014
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. Go to Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today 01/27/2014
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. Go to Full Review David Von Drehle TIME Magazine 01/27/2014
Herblock is an earnest, well-made accounting of a remarkable and important life. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/05/2014 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. See more 01/30/2014 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. See more Read all reviews
