Movie Reviews

Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenPlagiarist Jayson Blair takes up too much of the doc's time given his unflattering, close-up appearance and compulsive use of "um" and "you know."
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Matt Zoller Seitz"A Fragile Trust" lays it all out, sometimes in manipulative ways, but always with clarity, so that you understand what happened and how it happened.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Alan ScherstuhlWhile mostly well made, and certain to serve as a handy précis for the J-school set, A Fragile Trust is more a soiling reminder than a revelation for anyone already familiar with Blair's case.
Film-Forward.com - 6/10 by Nora Lee MandelLooking closely at journalism today makes it look like messy sausage making, similar to the legislative process the press criticizes. . . fostering an enabling environment.
New York Times - 6/10 by Ben KenigsbergLightness of touch is missing from the film, which features animated graphics and an ominous score.
Salon.com - 6/10 by Andrew O'HehirOn the most basic level, [Grant] tells a clear and thorough story about the most damaging plagiarism scandal in the history of America's flagship newspaper, and about the ambiguous and troubled individual who sparked it.
The Dissolve - 5/10 by Mike D'AngeloA Fragile Trust [...] does little more than rehash the story [of reporter Jayson Blair] for those who missed it the first time around, without ever finding much of a bigger picture.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 4/10 by Louis ProyectThe real scandal at the NYT is not Jayson Blair's plagiarism but the paper of record's incestuous relationship to the military-industrial complex.
