      Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle If you're looking for a reminder of a hugely impactful career in newsgathering, then Rather is rather perfect. Jun 13, 2023 Full Review Jason Bailey The Playlist The structure is fairly clever, starting towards the beginning but not quite at it, jumping forward and back, hopping around enough to keep the viewer on their toes and avoid the typical traps of the cradle-to-almost-grave profile. Rated: B- Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter Rather is fine. It’s not definitive. Jun 11, 2023 Full Review Juan Carlos Ugarelli Cinencuentro The most interesting thing about Rather is how the evolution of his career runs parallel to historical events... from the Vietnam War to Watergate and the revelation of tortured prisoners in Iraq at the hands of US soldiers. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A documentary that celebrates one of the greatest icons in the world of journalism, the film makes you yearn for the days when news was news and America could agree on the facts. Jul 7, 2023 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook A really interesting, clear-eyed reckoning of one man’s influence; and we should all be so lucky to leave a legacy this large.
