Good Night, and Good Luck. Reviews
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
Rarely moving a facial muscle except to exhale smoke and brimstone, Strathairn wonderfully recaptures Murrow's deadpan delivery style.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's an interesting way to represent the past, though the use of space, actors, and archival footage seems more theatrical than cinematic.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
A solid achievement.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
The bottom line on Good Night, and Good Luck? See it. Now.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
The best film of the year. More important, it's one of the most patriotic movies ever made.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
A sleek broadcast journalism procedural.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Clooney's message is clear: Character assassination is wrong, McCarthy was a bully and a liar, and we must be vigilant when the emperor has no clothes and wraps himself in the flag.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Manages a successful merger between gripping entertainment and understated cautionary tale.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Good Night, and Good Luck. is the must-see event picture of the Fall.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Ken Tucker
... it telescopes -- with no loss of accuracy -- Murrow's last few fifties hurrahs as the hardest diamond in Bill Paley's 'Tiffany network.'
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Mr. Strathairn does capture much of Murrow's formal manner, particularly the measured cadences of his sentences.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Good Night, and Good Luck stands, tall, solid, impressive and expressive joining not only the best films about journalism, but also those about real Americans.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The sad conclusion of Good Night is that while we have made no more room for Murrows in this world, the potential for McCarthys lingers. In which case, good luck indeed.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
There's no sense of nostalgia to the picture, no wistful romanticism or longing. Instead, the movie has a steely, dead-serious vitality -- a sense of immediacy and urgency that makes it seem it could be happening right now.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Clooney makes an elegant argument that something of vital interest is still at stake in this story. It would take a stubborn soul to disagree.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
See it, to see what the news once was -- and to see what movies can be.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
I'm betting David Strathairn, who plays Murrow with a sense of wry self-awareness, will be nominated for an Academy Award.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
I love this movie so much I wanted to go up and hug the screen when it was over.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
As an actor, George Clooney is often compared with vintage stars like Cary Grant, but with his latest work he aligns himself with history's great directors.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Do you respect the corporate line or do you cross it? Clooney, who in his life wears the hats both of the entertainer and the 'actorvist,' gives us an intelligent, electric film that knows this question is as timely now as it was for Murrow.
