Leave your thoughts about Broadcast News.
| Reel.comSarah ChaunceyThe best movie about the television business |
| New York Magazine/VultureJen ChaneyJane Craig is a feminist heroine in a way that few female romantic-comedy protagonists since have been, even the ones we consider strong and independent. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellA good love story and nice behind-the-scenes look at the news. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullIt's absurd but often funny, usually when it's dissecting the TV trade. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBroadcast News has a lot of interesting things to say about television. But the thing it does best is look into a certain kind of personality and a certain kind of relationship. |
| Boston GlobeMichael BlowenEnormously entertaining, Broadcast News is an inside look at the personal and professional lives of three TV journlists. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordBrooks' screenplay still seems alarmingly timely in its portrait of the blurring of the lines between what is news and what is entertainment. The movie's quietly devastating climax beautifully illustrates the collapse of ethics in TV journalism. |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphOccasionally aims for obvious targets, but is kept afloat by Brooks' observant humor. |
| NetflixJames RocchiAn important comedy, a funny drama and a razor-sharp portrait of American culture then and now. |
| Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeAs the talented but professionally thwarted news writer, Brooks is sensational, both vain and vulnerable. |
