Leave your thoughts about Trumbo.
| 3AWJim SchembriAbsolutely sterling, compelling drama about the notorious Hollywood blacklist of the 1940s and '50s...Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) puts in a career-high turn as screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn ethically stirring biopicture about the courageous screenplay writer who triumphed over the Red Scare crusaders of the 1950s. |
| NUVO NewsweeklyEdward Johnson-OttTrumbo has some fine performances, an important story, some entertaining scenes, and even a bit of humor. But it tries too hard to be a prestige film. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonOne of the year's best films, Trumbo is alternately poignant, amusing, infuriating and always thought-provoking. It's also a potent wake-up call for anyone not too lethargic to heed its alarm. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottJust hand Bryan Cranston the Oscar, the Golden Globe, etc. The acting and the story about the importance of protecting the First Amendment is the year's best movie. So far. |
| Deadline Hollywood DailyPete HammondTrumbo reminds us of a very dark time in America as well as Hollywood. Important but also hugely entertaining. Bryan Cranston nails it. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttOften simplistic and sometimes clumsy, the movie never quite gets how convoluted Dalton Trumbo's convictions actually were. |
| Good Times Santa CruzLisa Jensen[Bryan] Cranston plays Trumbo with an edgy, raging wit. |
| Cincinnati CityBeattt stern-enziTrumbo took full advantage of his wit and the power of language to not only garner fame and glory, but to also highlight the absurdity, injustice and utter un-American behavior of those behind the blacklisting. |
| Fort Worth WeeklyKristian M. LinTrumbo wants to be a statement on the value of standing on principle at a time when everybody else is running scared, and given the current political climate, it could have been incredibly timely. But it doesn't have the power. |
