The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B+
"Strathairn nails Murrow's manner and carriage. But his performance goes much deeper — into the man's sense of justice, his gentlemanly resolve, his piercing intelligence. "
Austin American-Statesman: 4 of 5 stars
"Clooney transports us to a moment at which a TV anchorman could straight-facedly aspire to doing good for the Republic."
Cox News Service: A
"The articulate Edward R. Murrow, whose television scripts (David) Strathairn brilliantly reproduces verbatim in the movie, makes a venerable teacher for our age."
The Palm Beach Post: A
"Strathairn's high-intensity performance is award-worthy caliber, all the more impressive to those who know Murrow's distinctive delivery style."
