Such a stunning piece on grief and its ever present impact. Balances the tone flawlessly - laughing one moment, on the verge of tears the next. There’s huge credit in how earnest Crowe’s storytelling is throughout. Damon could honestly be the greatest to ever do it.  “I’m your fan, man. Don’t you know that by now?”

A complementary piece to *All the Presidents Men *in many ways. The burden of responsibility when reporting on damning scandals and the weight that bears on the journalists. Otherworldly screenplay, bolstered by several career best performances - Keaton in particular.

Once I got past the slight laziness of flashback storytelling, I found it to be a deeply inspirational and freeing narrative. Reese Witherspoon is deeply captivating throughout. Great soundtrack as well.

Didn’t connect to it at all. A few clever moments within the script quickly drowned out by substance-less turns of mania. Was impressed with how fluid and controlled the camera movement felt in fairness.
