the characters are so authentic. Such a great script

Filmmaker Brooks, working from his own screenplay, does an absolutely fantastic job of immediately luring the viewer into the mostly-spellbinding proceedings...

| Original Score: 4/4 | Dec 9, 2023

Since its hero is a crusading journalist lacking in social graces, and a major scene is set at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, this is probably every media elite person’s favorite movie of the 1980s (35th anniversary)

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 27, 2022

Nothing about the film is overwrought or over-the-top; it’s an impressively well-balanced, pleasing work, even if the conclusion is a touch too easy.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 22, 2022

...interested in all the complication and resignation that comes with being an actual adult.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 27, 2022

Perceptive on several levels -- particularly in its study of romantic entanglements, its take on the role of the media, and its commentary on style versus substance -- this finds Holly Hunter delivering the best female performance of the 1980s.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 6, 2021

I struggle to think of a safer, more charming film.

It achieves an unexpected flow in its development and an even more unexpected magic in certain moments. [Full Review in Spanish]

Hunter shows us a woman who was never able to pretend she wasn't smarter than the guys, and gives a performance of such springy naturalness that it hardly seems like a performance at all.

| Feb 27, 2020

Albert Brooks and Holly Hunter perform with such vitality, such comic neuroticism, that they at least blur the edges of their stereotypes.

Broadcast News is a slick and well- scripted comedy, witty and well-paced; it makes no points that haven't been made before, but like its 온라인카지노추천 news team it makes them entertainingly.

| Mar 1, 2019

It's an intelligent, uproariously funny dissection of what really goes on in a 온라인카지노추천 newsroom, both on and off camera.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 1, 2019

The film has savvy and it has an edge, but there s not a trace of cruelty or cheap-shot, easy humor in it. Much of it, in fact, is startlingly warm and heartfelt. This is important; it's what makes this movie so easy to watch.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 22, 2019

As the talented but professionally thwarted news writer, Brooks is sensational, both vain and vulnerable.

| Dec 18, 2018

Jane Craig is a feminist heroine in a way that few female romantic-comedy protagonists since have been, even the ones we consider strong and independent.

| Dec 19, 2017

James Brooks is too gifted a writer for that simple a story.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 23, 2017

This bittersweet love story is set against the world of network news and writer-producer-director James Brooks fills his satire with some lovable heros and villains -- and characters that don't quite fit into either category.

| Nov 8, 2016

(The) endlessly quotable writing... keeps the film fresh as Tom, Aaron and Jane carom off each other at ever-more oblique angles.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 26, 2011

The human element is just as prescient as it was then, while the characters' romantic/professional entanglements now have the added poignancy of the past tense.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 6, 2011

By looking at the small-screen picture...[Brooks] provocatively suggests that America's socio-political problems are pretty much the same as the personal problems of its citizens. [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 17, 2011
