Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune Well-acted and tight, maybe to a fault. Rated: 3/4 Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's a very good movie, very well-paced. Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday A compelling journalism thriller with a fine cast and fascinating period details. Rated: 3/4 Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Neal Pollack Book & Film Globe It’s well-made, tense and jittery. But it’s also about as fresh as yesterday’s news. Rated: 3/5 Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Mark Meszoros The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH) Given its limited scope and brisk runtime of about an hour and a half, it won’t be all things to all people interested in that tragic day, but it’s a nice tribute to those folks thrust out of their comfort zones and into covering it. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Although technically sharp, well-acted and consistently tense, a lack of perspective on what the day's events wrought in journalism ultimately undoes the otherwise transfixing spell. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
