Leave your thoughts about Scandalous: The Untold Story of the National Enquirer.
| TheWrapWilliam Bibbiani"Scandalous” is a fast-paced documentary, packed with incident and information, as tantalizing as an old issue of the Enquirer itself. |
| Austin ChronicleSteve DavisWhile Scandalous ultimately touches upon the tabloid’s plausible impact on the present-day state of affairs, it’s a killjoy way to begin a movie that’s so engagingly lively. |
| Movie NationRoger Moore“Scandalous” is a journalism expose that lives up, or down, to its hype. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeIf anyone out there thinks the National Enquirer is merely harmless entertainment, “Scandalous” give them no shortage of alarming reasons to reconsider. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA look at the infamous paper that emphasizes color over critique, it's a blazingly paced film that entertains and informs, even if many viewers who value journalism will groan as they watch. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanAll of these make for engrossing, if hardly untold, tales. But what gives the lurid, titillating — and even, at times, fun — aspects of “Scandalous” a more sober edge are the journalistic implications, best articulated by former Washington Post reporter Bernstein, who calls the Enquirer’s frontal assault on truth and integrity “as corrupt as you can be.” |
| RogerEbert.comMatt FagerholmLandsman’s film is enraging for all the right reasons, and more than a few wrong ones as well. It comes off as more of a puff piece than an exposé. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe various excuses made for The Enquirer’s ethics undermine Landsman’s efforts to portray the paper as splashy, all-American fun. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleAs pop culture narratives go, “Scandalous” wants to be as colorful and fun as a flip through of the rag itself at the supermarket. But in these truth-challenged times, the jovial tone of “Scandalous” all too often outweighs the judgmental. |
