Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Mostly, though, this is a solid tribute to one of the most commanding forces an old-school newsroom has ever seen. Rated: 3/4 Dec 6, 2017 Full Review Verne Gay Newsday Warm, genial portrait of a great editor, but not much else. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 5, 2017 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Chronicling its subject's life and career in fascinating detail, The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee will prove catnip to journalism and political buffs, not to mention anyone who cares about the free press and its role in our democracy. Dec 3, 2017 Full Review Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com For a 90-minute documentary, The Newspaper Man does fine work in a short time frame. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 30, 2018 Full Review Jade Budowski Decider If anything, The Newspaperman is a reminder that we all might benefit from boasting the same determination to expose lies that Bradlee did. Dec 19, 2017 Full Review Tim Appelo AARP Movies for Grownups This film perfectly covers the editor's personal life, public life and iconic status as the most admired journalist of his day.

Audience Member informative and interesting Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Respectable documentary about an interesting subject. Real life All the President's Men - but a lot more. Old school news hounds - they were a helluva thing. 8 out of 10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting story, but scattered and a little hagiographic. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member What a life he lived, remarkable documentary. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
