Well shot and interesting. A bit dry and tonal one note, but it’s definitely worth a watch

A bit slow and disjointed but interesting look into American journalism history

Great true story. Slow at times, and exaggerates the story at others, but still worth a watch.

Tepid film mimics documentary style with b&w & overlapping dialogue. Important topic about early broadcast news. Needs a better treatment.

Really great performances all around. The film walks a fine line trying to make a niche story interesting, but I think it pulls it off.
