Good Night, and Good Luck.
Rating = B+
This movie was very
well done. I would have given it an A- except that it seemly slightly
superficial — perhaps it was just not quite long enough to give me my
fill. While being nominally about TV in the era of Edward R. Murrow
and Joe McCarthy, I couldn't help but think about the state of TV news
coverage and commerciality today and the current government attacks on
liberty in the name of patriotism. Also striking were the changes in
how we think about smoking and how men talk to women today compared
with then.
