| Under the RadarCharles SteinbergMainly though, The Newspaperman aims and succeeds at casting Ben Bradlee in a positive an enviable light. If only we had the likes of a Ben Bradlee today. |
| Paste MagazineAmy GlynnIt's a fully rendered portrait of a man who loved journalism and became one of the most influential newsmakers of the 20th century. |
| DeciderJade BudowskiIf anything, The Newspaperman is a reminder that we all might benefit from boasting the same determination to expose lies that Bradlee did. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreA bit overly flattering, but a terrific portrait of a journalistic icon and great homework for this year's Oscar contending drama, "The Post." |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperMostly, though, this is a solid tribute to one of the most commanding forces an old-school newsroom has ever seen. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckChronicling its subject's life and career in fascinating detail, The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee will prove catnip to journalism and political buffs, not to mention anyone who cares about the free press and its role in our democracy. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillFor a 90-minute documentary, The Newspaper Man does fine work in a short time frame. |
| The PlaylistGary GarrisonThe trouble with figures like Bradlee, though, is that they loom so large, their actions so monumental, that it feels impossible to merely define them by their achievements, which is more or less what Maggio's movie does. |
| NewsdayVerne GayWarm, genial portrait of a great editor, but not much else. |
| User ReviewChris HWhat a life he lived, remarkable documentary. |
