Rachel Wagner

the characters are so authentic. Such a great script

Filmmaker Brooks, working from his own screenplay, does an absolutely fantastic job of immediately luring the viewer into the mostly-spellbinding proceedings...

Since its hero is a crusading journalist lacking in social graces, and a major scene is set at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, this is probably every media elite person’s favorite movie of the 1980s (35th anniversary)

Nothing about the film is overwrought or over-the-top; it’s an impressively well-balanced, pleasing work, even if the conclusion is a touch too easy.

...interested in all the complication and resignation that comes with being an actual adult.
