Inspired by real events, SCOOP is the inside account of the tenacious journalism that landed an earthshattering interview -- Prince Andrew's infamous BBC Newsnight appearance. From the tension of producer Sam McAlister's high stakes negotiations with Buckingham Palace, all the way to Emily Maitlis' jaw-dropping, forensic showdown with the Prince, SCOOP takes us inside the story, with the women who would stop at nothing to get it. To get an interview this big, you have to be bold.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Scoop wrings riveting drama out of its real-life story, even if the actual interview footage remains an arguably superior watch.

Robert Levin Newsday The depiction of the hard, gritty work of journalism is believable, but it doesn't make for especially engaging drama. Rated: 2.5/4 May 3, 2024 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's very crisp and effective... You obviously know where it's going, but it's effective for what it does. Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Scoop, which declares it a job-well-done simply to see a man stripped of honorary titles without ever having to defend himself in a criminal court, fails to make the argument for why any of this mattered beyond making good TV. Rated: 3/5 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Jack Martin Film Feeder Despite the occasional genuine thrill, though, it’s fairly standard stuff that ultimately doesn’t offer a whole lot more insight into the incident that caught the world off-guard. Rated: 3/5 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Cinema Daily US What Scoop doesn’t quite do is establish itself as a completely independent product that can survive the test of time without any context. Epstein’s name is well-known at the moment but there isn’t all that much explanation about who he is. Rated: B Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi Scoop takes a very complex and interesting subject and makes it boring by developing the most uninteresting possible angle. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Dane B. M I liked it a great deal. The inner workings of media and the Palace. Yes, I will recommend it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Daniel B I'm not really sure why we're glorifying journalists just for doing their jobs, also not really sure why we should care so much just because it's about royalty. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Jessica C I enjoyed this film ,its well acted and I found it interesting to see the work that goes into securing these types of interviews. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Jason P You need to know this is a movie about Sam McAlister primarily, the former newsnight booker for the BBC. It's somewhat entertaining but was a huge disappointment viewing experience as it felt like 50% of the movie was watching shots of Sam travelling around London and staring at Chanel logos. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Seth S Movies that depict journalist always either lean to be good or bad. This does a decent job of staying in the middle. Boring at times and sometimes exciting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Cristian s La adaptación de una historia real que logra cumplir con lo que se propone. Simple, lineal pero a la vez entretenida, no pretende ser mas de lo que es. Buenas actuaciones. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
