Critics Consensus: A taut, solidly acted paean to the benefits of a free press and the dangers of unchecked power, made all the more effective by its origins in real-life events.

Reviews

Gone With The Twins

Fresh

It's understated to allow for the happenings and the implications to grow more impactful on their own, essentially mimicking a documentary style of filmmaking.

Bay Area Reporter

Fresh

As grippingly suspenseful as any James Bond thriller, and it's all true.

Sight and Sound

Fresh

A story that has been marshalled with dazzling skill and precision, but lacks the imaginative hooks that might have taken it even further in mood and meaning.

TAKE ONE Magazine

Fresh

Although many tales have been told, it is the genesis story of the Nixon/Watergate scandal that remains its most compelling.

Los Angeles Free Press

Fresh

It is not the definitive movie on Watergate, but it is, for the Seventies, a definitive movie about the American character, and as such, one of the most important film experiences of the decade.

Superb Woodward and Bernstein Watergate story.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that All the President's Men is a classic drama based on the true story of the reporters who uncovered the Watergate scandal. It has some tense moments, strong language (including "s--t" and "f--k"), smoking, and drinking. Kids may need some historical context in order to understand the story's complex characters and situations, but those who stick with it will take away positive messages about persistence and dedication to the truth.
