Trumbo Reviews
Detroit News
Adam Graham
A fun, highly watchable film.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
The movie's main idea seems to be that, in the end, people prefer movies to ideas. Or at least ideologies.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It's a period piece full of colorful characters, natty costumes, jaunty music.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Trumbo is a solid effort made close to unmissable thanks in large part to Cranston's magnificence, the resulting biopic a gripping return to a Hollywood of yesteryear where the themes being examined couldn't be more appropriately timely.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Revealing. Fascinating. Entertaining.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
For all the smart people involved in its making, and for all the smart people it's about, this is not a movie that's all that interested in complexity - in either its storytelling or its morality.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
In a movie explicitly about men stripped of their names, it seems exceptionally bad form to do the same in service of narrative expediency.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It's a history lesson told in breezy fashion, but that doesn't make it any less important.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Michael Stuhlbarg steals the movie as a beleagured Edward G. Robinson (who named names before the committee, including Trumbo's); and Helen Mirren is nicely acidic as the red-baiting gossip columnist Hedda Hopper.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
Screenwriters are so rarely taken seriously by the film industry that it's a nice switch to watch them be the heroes.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Trumbo is a corny, well-made B-movie about an A-list screenwriter who had to take jobs writing B-movies after he was blacklisted, but eventually worked his way back to writing A-movies with Kirk Douglas a.k.a. Spartacus as his champion.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Cranston's performance is the motor that runs "Trumbo," and that motor never idles, never flags in momentum or magnetism or idealistic scorn.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
Roach's direction is pedestrian. He turns the picture into an earnest primer of the issues of the era and a road map of how Trumbo slowly resuscitates his career ...
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The logistics of how Trumbo survived, fronting a stable of other blacklisted writers and churning out his own work under various aliases, make for a great yarn.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
How could a movie about a great screenwriter have such a terrible screenplay?
Alt Film Guide
Tim Cogshell
Trumbo stars Bryan Cranston giving a great performance in a movie that is highly entertaining while managing to shovel the history of the blacklist at the audience in every scene.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Cranston's connection with Trumbo's struggle and frustration, and with his streak of canny practicality, couldn't be stronger.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Kristin Tillotson
Cranston shows Trumbo's public and private sides - giving full measure to his eccentricities without devolving into caricature.
Observer
Rex Reed
Bryan Cranston brings the complex personality of Trumbo to life with substance and humor.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Cranston shows us us the the active intelligence of the man who took his own struggle for freedom and turned it into one of the greatest lines in movie history.
