By failing to truly engage with the civil rights story in a compelling way and focusing simply on Johnson’s journey towards presidential relevancy, All The Way struggles with pacing. It feels longer than its two hour run time...

| Aug 13, 2024

It's a reworking of an acclaimed Broadway play, for which Cranston won a Tony award, and his performance ignites what might otherwise be one of those solid, reverential American history lessons.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 7, 2020

While handsomely produced and well-acted, this adaptation feels a bit like a high school drama you were forced to watch in history class.

| Oct 7, 2020

A pockmarked hodgepodge of a narrative that fails to provide the context that made Johnson's civil-rights efforts so stunning.

Take this to the bank: Cranston will win the Emmy for outstanding lead performance in a 온라인카지노추천 movie or miniseries hands down this fall. I don't care who does what later this year; it won't top Cranston's LBJ.

Jay Roach, who directed all three Austin Powers films and Cranston in Trumbo, makes this 2016 HBO political drama relevant to today.

| Oct 7, 2020

All the Way, at times, feels overstuffed, but you remain riveted while watching Cranston delve into the many layers of Johnson's personality, from folksy warmth to ruthless rage to the nagging insecurity.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 7, 2020

All the Way works because Cranston is so determined to make Johnson relatable. He shows there's more to the guy than baling wire and spit. Best of all, he isn't afraid to let him look weak and afraid.

Jay Roach, who directed Cranston in Trumbo, never lets the fast-moving All the Way seem like a play put on film. He draws uniformly fine performances and showcases his hard-working star. The results: Cranston wins again.

All the Way is a more satisfying movie than it was a play. Intense closeups of the characters, plus news footage from the 1960s civil rights showdown and Barry Goldwater's campaign, make it both more intimate and more epic.

| Oct 7, 2020

The film's exhumation of a more-relevant-than-ever social and political fight makes All The Way seem cannier than it is.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 7, 2020

Jay Roach's smart direction and the brilliant script by Robert Schenkkan are essential to capturing the dynamics of an era and its principal players. Likewise, Bill Corso's impressive make-up is indispensable... But the acting's the thing.

| Oct 7, 2020

Cranston, thankfully, doesn't overplay any of Johnson's moods. His subtlety and intelligence keep Johnson human, and as multi-dimensional as the man himself.

| Oct 7, 2020

Virtually everything about this exhilarating work -- its enterprise, its unfailing humor, its drama... would be cause for celebration at any time.

| Oct 7, 2020

With a unique subject matter and a bit of creative license, Director Jay Roach (Trumbo) brings us a captivating story that both enrages us and draws us in simultaneously.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 26, 2019

Here's to clearing space for another Emmy trophy because the moment this movie was placed on the HBO schedule, he won the award.

Beneath the melodrama of the maneuvering for power, there are millions of ordinary human beings who depend on the right outcome.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 6, 2017

Just as Johnson steamrolled opposition en route to a landslide 1964 election victory, so Cranston's charisma blew everyone else clean off screen. The actor also went "all the way" and it was absorbing to watch.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 29, 2016

All The Way is a rare film that tries to actually understand history instead of reducing it to mechanism. [Full review in Spanish]
