Leave your thoughts about All the President's Men.
| The NationRobert HatchThe effect of All the President's Men is not to make Watergate more real but to make it more remote. |
| NewsdayJoseph GelmisAll the President's Men is a quintessential American movie: It does a lot of things well and makes it all look simple. It works on several levels. |
| Chicago TribuneMaureen M. HartA riveting, superbly acted political thriller. |
| EmpireIan NathanOne of modern American film’s most intelligent and provocative accounts of a nation’s political failings, and a near-perfect depiction of journalism at its purist and most inspired. To be more succinct, it is quite brilliant. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellA finer political film you will not find. It should be declared a national treasure. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowSuperb Woodward and Bernstein Watergate story. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonIt really couldn't be better made in any respect. The cinematography, sound, editing, acting - all of them are effectively flawless. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaAlém de contribuir como registro histórico e reflexão sobre a mídia e a ética, é, também, um magnífico exemplar do melhor do Cinema. |

| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenThe ingeniousness of screenwriter William Goldman and director Alan J. Pakula’s film is that it’s framed as a detective mystery. |
