With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for fans of newsroom stories and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 15 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1932: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A man is promised $25,000 if he can bring the circulation of a newspaper up to one million.
