Tabloid Ratings & Reviews
David C.
June 9, 2025
Perhaps one of the worst movies that I've ever seen! The whole movie consisted of a couple of people sitting in chais speaking! The only reason that I got to the end of the movie was because I b! ecame immensely bored and fell asleep! I can't see how they actually considered filming this garbage and putting it online! Have I known what this was going to be like, I would have required at least a handsome slum of money to view it! Do everyone a favor and avoid watching this, as it is the worst excuse or wasting money to produce this nonsense!

William Goss
Operates as both an examination of the dominating media mentality at the time and an embodiment of it, no less keen on delving into the juicy details now as tabloid rags were then.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Errol Morris is a genius, a gifted documentarian who has made better movies than "Tabloid," but none so entertaining.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Morris has found a real character in McKinney, but to what end, I couldn't say.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
"Tabloid" is tantalizing, but like yesterday's headlines, it's a fleeting flirtation.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Though the events Tabloid recounts took place in the pre-digital age, the film also functions as a kind of prehistory of modern celebrity culture and tabloid journalism.
The New Yorker
David Denby
Morris's subject is sexual fantasy and a particular kind of American stupidity-the ability to substitute self-justification for self-knowledge. His tone is merry.

Sara Michelle Fetters
McKinney is of course the star, insisting that her version of events is the true one and that everyone else has some sort of axe to grind and doesn't know what they're talking about.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It is quite simply one of the craziest stories ever told, made all the crazier by the fact that it's true. Or at least some version of it is true.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Tabloid, Errol Morris' latest wild and woolly portrait of human self-delusion, is a scandal-sheet dream come to life.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The movie is guilty of condescending toward its subjects, though most of them appear to be having a fabulous time telling tales.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A tale of obsession and abduction, self-delusion and sexual confusion, Errol Morris' Tabloid stands as an almost giddy affirmation of the old cliche: Truth is stranger than fiction.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
With its cutesy cut-out graphics and mock-emphatic headlines, Tabloid sends up the hysteria of supermarket-rag coverage, but that's also the fuel that keeps it running.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Morris adds to the hilarity with his signature device of superimposing key words onscreen in giant type; the movie is a welcome reminder that he got his start immortalizing American oddballs.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Morris is clearly fascinated by her mega eccentricities and lets her go on at great length telling her side of the story.

Leonard Maltin
Although he has tackled many serious subjects (and finally won an Oscar for The Fog of War, his gut-wrenching portrait of former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara), filmmaker Errol Morris has always had a fondness for life's oddballs...
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Tabloid spins a heck of a yarn, while implicitly warning viewers not to be so entertained that they believe every gamy detail.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
For fans of Morris's work, which often grapples with the nature of truth and memory, it's a must-see film.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
It's all compelling, in the way reading trashy gossip usually is. But without any new perspectives, what's the point?
New York Post
Kyle Smith
"Tabloid" shows that an oddball lead character and a smirky style do not necessarily add up to a complete movie.
