Hollywoodland Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The film, actually, is a little like Reeves himself: It starts promisingly and trails off into indistinctness and mystery.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
In this bland, ultimately dull reimagining, the question of who killed Superman turns out to be less of a mystery than a plodding attempt at what has been done so much better before.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
In his generous spirit toward a forgotten icon, Affleck turns the death-obsessed Hollywoodland into, of all things, a film about resurrection.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
With a more restrained, subtler actor, Hollywoodland could have been what it aspires to be: a study of twin trajectories (Reeves and Simo) caught in the spotlights of Tinseltown, where dreams crash headlong into hard reality -- and dubious ethics.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Hollywoodland explores an intriguing bit of Hollywood history, and through the strength of its performances keeps us engaged and entertained.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The pacing is slow and deliberate, but the story never ceases to intrigue.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
[Hollywoodland] holds interest as a whodunit that's refreshingly compassionate toward the fates of its characters. Warts and all, they're likable dreamers in a town where dreams don't always come true.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
It's just another sordid tale from a city famous for them. But Hollywoodland explains so much about today's Hollywood, from the cozy ways the cops have always played ball with the studios and stars, to the career-killing pain of type-casting.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
The movies love a tasty murder, which is why Ben Affleck has packed on the pounds, slipped on some tights and given this exasperating film far more than it gives in return.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A Tinseltown story without the tinsel, a whodunit that has little mystery.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
One of the nicest surprises of the late summer lull between blockbuster seasons, a smart period mystery-cum-character study-cum-bitter parable on the lures and liabilities of life in its titular locale.
UGO
Brian Tallerico
May not have all the answers about the death of one of the icons behind the big red 'S,' but by gathering one of the better ensembles of the year, it makes the legend interesting again.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Take my word for it: Hollywoodland is well worth seeing.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Reeves had an easy but peppy presence that was very likable, and Affleck's moroseness doesn't do him justice.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
... even though parts of the picture don't quite hold together, in the end, it sticks with you.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It's almost a good movie.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Hollywoodland is laden with atmosphere but moves like it has lead in its tights.
Observer
Rex Reed
Hollywoodland, a fascinating, intelligent and probing new film noir about the unsolved Tinseltown mystery surrounding the death of actor George Reeves.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A bit of a hodgepodge -- unnecessarily complicated, clumsily structured, uncertainly directed and, as a whodunit, ultimately unsatisfying.
