A Good Movie To Watch

Farah Cheded

In an era when practically anything goes in the name of entertainment, this interrogation of TV’s corrupt origins feels ever-relevant.

...engaging and periodically spellbinding...

Quiz Show must be praised because it is a film with a strong story line, characters with whom the audience can sympathize, a climax and a resolution with no violence and no sex. Mr. Redford... must be congratulated on achieving this unusual feat.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

While extremely well-made, the movie is, essentially, the grandest story possible of a loud slap on the wrist.

Robert Redford's real-life cautionary tale about games, money and fame, is as relevant today as it was then. [Full review in Spanish]
